## Summary

London Councils is seeking proposals for the "Tender for Research and Consultancy Services London Business Polling Research," which aims to conduct a survey addressing the business concerns in London, including issues related to business rates and skills shortages, as well as the impact of Brexit. This ongoing initiative will extend over three years, providing annual snapshots of these concerns to inform government representation. The tender was published on 13th February 2017 and closed on 24th February 2017, with a total estimated value of £75,000. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the contract covers services within the research and development consultancy category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises), to engage in valuable market research that can influence policy decisions at governmental levels. Companies specializing in research and consultancy services, particularly those experienced in conducting surveys and analyzing data within the context of London’s economic landscape, will find this an excellent opportunity to extend their influence and contribute to shaping business advocacy in the region.
