## Summary

The procurement process titled "UK SBS How to measure the prosperity impacts of Shipbuilding in the UK" was initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, with a focus on research and development consultancy services in the shipbuilding industry. The tender was completed on 31st March 2017 and had an end date for submissions set for 13th January 2017. The procurement involved a total value of £72,000 and was conducted within the London region of the United Kingdom, utilising an alternative procurement method. The contract was ultimately awarded to Ipsos MORI on 20th January 2017.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in research, consultancy, or analysis within the defence and shipbuilding sectors, particularly those with a capability in developing metrics for economic assessment. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete due to the nature of the services required, which emphasises innovative and tailored approaches to understanding the economic impacts of defence procurement. The successful delivery of this project could open doors for further consultancy contracts in related fields.

## Notice

The overall aim of this project is to assist government (BEIS, MOD, HMT) in gaining a better understanding of the prosperity impacts of building warships in the UK, both at the national and regional level and the development of a practical set of metrics for measuring this. This work should be seen in the context of the overarching objective for government which is to develop a practical approach for assessing the UK prosperity benefits of Defence procurement, which can be used systematically as part of the MOD's value for money assessments, in a manner compatible with HM Treasury's Green Book framework.
