## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, for a project titled "Online Safety - Media Literacy Strategy - Mapping Exercise and Literature Review." This tender falls under the industry category of market research services and is located in London, UK. The current stage is the open tender phase, with submissions closing on 6th September 2019. The total contract value is between £25,000 and £50,000, and the contract period is set to begin on 30th September 2019 and conclude by 31st March 2020. The procurement method employed is an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in market research and media literacy evaluation. Companies specialising in research services or those with a strong background in online safety initiatives would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project not only allows for potential revenue growth but also contributes to the ongoing policy development aimed at enhancing online safety for users, particularly children.

## Notice

In April 2019 the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and the Home Office jointly published the Online Harms White Paper (OHWP), which sets out government's proposals for regulation and policies to tackle harms taking place online. The government is currently evaluating consultation responses to the proposals set out in the White Paper and is due to publish its response to the consultation by the end of 2019. DCMS is seeking to appoint a provider to: a. undertake a mapping exercise of online media literacy initiatives, including any evaluation which accompanies them; b. conduct a literature review of evidence on the levels of media literacy among online users and any barriers to media literacy; and c. identify and review any existing evaluation of media literacy initiatives which were identified in the mapping exercise (part (a) above). Together with DCMS's analysis of consultation responses and findings from our stakeholder engagement, this research will feed into the government's policy development on online harms, our response to the consultation and our programme of activity to empower users to keep themselves and their children safe online. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
