Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is currently establishing a contract titled "Futures Framework" aimed at providing research and development services and related consultancy services within the UK. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 29 August 2019. The contract is scheduled to commence on 7 October 2019 and will last until 6 October 2022. This framework is set to be used by UK public sector bodies and their successors, offering an opportunity for businesses to gain access to a growing network of Futures practitioners.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage with HMG Departments and Agencies. Successful bidders will join a register of Futures practitioners, potentially leading to numerous contracts under this framework. Organisations that specialise in consultancy, research, or related services are particularly suited to compete for this contract, as it seeks to build stronger connections between the government and external advisory services within the Futures domain.
