The contract, valued at £20,000, is part of the miscellaneous business services category. It was awarded after a single tender action, with the contract period extending from 10th March 2021 to 31st March 2021.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in communication services, data analysis, and public relations strategies, particularly those capable of delivering international insights and soft power analytics. Given its direct procurement method and relatively low value, small and medium-sized enterprises may find these types of contracts accessible, allowing them to compete effectively. Engaging in this procurement process could help such businesses expand their profiles and client bases, particularly within governmental sectors.
