## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has concluded a procurement process under the title "Technology Sanctions Effectiveness and Impact Project".

Classified under the industry category of economic research services (CPV code: 79311400), the contract covers multiple regions including the UK, Europe, and further afield.

The contract, valued at £60,000, is awarded to The Visionarys Ltd, with a contract period from 5th December 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement stage has progressed to the award phase as of 23rd December 2025.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for companies specialising in economic research services, particularly those with expertise in evaluating economic sanctions and their impact. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were deemed suitable for this procurement, thereby allowing agile and innovative businesses to engage in delivering complex research projects. The contract offers a chance for businesses with proficiency in understanding international trade relations and sanctions to demonstrate their capabilities, expanding their portfolio and potentially leading to further opportunities within governmental research initiatives.

## Notice

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is commissioning a project to evaluate the effectiveness and economic impact of UK and Western IT services and software sanctions on Russia. The primary objective is to assess how and to what extent UK-imposed IT Consultancy and Design and Sectoral software and technology sanctions have degraded the Russia economy or capability and prevented the circumvention of similar sanctions by UK allies, such as the US and EU. The project will identify the most impacted software and IT services categories, explore the feasibility of quantifying economic losses and strategic effects due to reduced access to UK and Western-origin software and IT services, and evaluate the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms. Given the sanctions are designed in part to prevent the circumvention of UK allies' sanctions, the project should also quantify the effect of those equivalent sanctions
