## Summary

The British Business Bank, located in Sheffield, has successfully completed the procurement process for the project titled "UK Entrepreneur Research" within the services industry category. The contract, valued at £160,000, was awarded to Ipsos MORI UK Limited following a tender period that concluded on 20th December 2019. The contract spans from 20th January 2020 to 29th May 2020, focusing on gathering data to enhance the understanding of the UK entrepreneur population and the factors influencing their success.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in survey design and research services to expand their operations, particularly those equipped with expertise in gathering and analysing primary data related to entrepreneurship. Companies that specialise in understanding demographic and social characteristics, access to finance, and the broader economic activity landscape would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts in the public sector.

## Notice

The Bank seeks to gather new (and potentially existing) primary data which furthers understanding of the current dynamics of the UK entrepreneur population, and how and in what ways diversity (i.e. sex, ethnicity) interacts with it. The aim is for this research to yield statistically significant results, at a level of detail which practically informs the nature, design and case for future initiatives. The research will improve our understanding of which UK entrepreneurs (described via demographic and social background characteristics) progress through stages on the 'entrepreneur development journey' to achieve success, and which do not, and why this may be the case. In this, it will consider the role of important external factors, such as social capital, access to finance, and choice of economic activity.
