## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) seeking services for a project titled "Review of Rural and Urban Business and Economic Statistics." This initiative aims to enhance the understanding of rural economies in England by examining data sources related to rural and urban economic experiences. The project was published on 5th July 2021, with a tender period that ended on 3rd August 2021. The contract is set to commence on 13th September 2021 and conclude on 7th March 2022. The procurement follows an open procedure for services classified under research and development and related consultancy services, with delivery to various regions including the United Kingdom and other territories.

This tender represents an important opportunity for businesses involved in research, data analysis, and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in rural economies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the project encompasses a comprehensive review of economic statistics which could significantly impact policy and local economic interventions. Businesses looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts, especially those concentrating on socio-economic research, are well-suited for this opportunity.

## Notice

The research aims to improve the understanding of rural economies in England through an improved appreciation of data sources on how economies operate in both rural and urban areas. This will include data sources on the experiences at a more local level of people and businesses based in rural areas, especially by comparison with the experiences of people and businesses in urban areas to identify similarities and differences.
