Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) commissioned a short, concise, policy-focused report providing an up-to-date overview of the UK Safety Tech sector. The work covers sectoral research and insight, aimed at describing the current UK Safety Tech landscape for policy purposes. It is a research and related consultancy service, within the broader research and development services category (CPV 73000000). Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom and may also cover the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is DSIT, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The requirement is a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Perspective Economics Limited on 10 August 2026 for £44,850 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 15 December 2026. It followed a mini-competition call-off from the RM6216 Research and Insight dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 11:00. The award is active. DSIT selected Perspective Economics Limited as the supplier for the full requirement: the UK Safety Tech sector snapshot report. The process was evaluated through the research and insight competition route, with the requirement focused on producing a concise, current and policy-relevant sector overview.

This award indicates demand from DSIT for focused market intelligence on the UK Safety Tech sector, rather than a broad communications or general research commission. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in economic or sector analysis, technology-market research and concise report production. Experience of translating evidence into policy-relevant findings would be important, as would the ability to establish an up-to-date view of an evolving safety technology sector and present it clearly for a government audience. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist research consultancy with relevant UK technology-sector knowledge could be competitive through the appropriate dynamic purchasing system route. Useful evidence would include comparable sector snapshots, stakeholder research and concise policy briefings.
