## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy has completed a tender titled "Quantitative analysis of trade and value added in UK supply chains - 2022 update". This procurement process, classified under economic research services, had a contract value of £48,000 and was carried out via a direct method with a single tender action. The contract period was from 2nd March 2022 to 30th September 2022, while the tender itself concluded on 17th December 2021. The study focused on the analysis of trade data, disaggregating by region, to provide insights related to UK manufacturers and distributors.

This award creates opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), that specialise in economic research, data analysis, or similar services. Companies with capabilities in handling such datasets and providing detailed research outputs would be well-suited to compete in future tenders, especially those that align with the analytical focus of trade and supply chain studies within the UK.

## Notice

The work under this contract will update and extend the outputs of an existing project which matches Annual Business Survey (ABS) and HMRC trade data. This project will analyse the ABS/HMRC dataset to indicate how much UK trade is undertaken by manufacturers and distributors, disaggregating by region (including NI). The work will also explore firm characteristics including employment and size.
