Summary of the contracting process

The Government Actuary's Department in London has completed a procurement process for the provision of an Economic Scenario Generator Service alongside a Climate Scenario Service. This procurement, which falls under the industry category of economic research services, sought to engage suppliers to deliver critical data services, valued at a gross amount of £690,000, through an open and competitive flexible procedure.
