## Summary

The procurement process titled "A Taxonomy of Risk for Online Harms" was initiated by the Department for Culture Media & Sport (DCMS) to conduct research identifying the risk landscape related to online harms and to develop a comprehensive taxonomy for categorising these risks. The contract was awarded to Oliver Wyman, with a total value of £49,000. The procurement was conducted through a selective method using a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 8 January 2021 to 31 March 2021. The award was published on 14 July 2021, reflecting the completion of the process, and the project took place in London, England, within the research and development services industry category.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research, consultancy, and online safety services, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies equipped with expertise in risk assessment, regulatory frameworks, and the development of strategic models for online safety may find this an advantageous area to compete in as public sector organisations increasingly seek to address online harm challenges.

## Notice
