## Summary

The contracting authority, BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED, has initiated an open procurement process titled "GB-London: Market research into the data landscape within English local government." This tender, classified under research and market research services, is currently active and is aimed at understanding the commercial potential of data managed by local councils. The procurement stage is the tender phase, with a closing deadline for submissions on 7th August 2025. The contract is set to begin on 1st September 2025 and end on 3rd November 2025. The opportunity targets a wide array of regions, including the UK, various European nations, and numerous international territories. The estimated contract value ranges from £25,000 to £50,000 GBP.

This tender presents an attractive opportunity for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in the public sector market. Companies specialising in data analytics, research services, or those with experience in data management are well-suited to participate, potentially benefiting from a streamlined procurement method designed for open competition and specific economic operator suitability. By leveraging this opportunity, businesses can expand their operations and establish partnerships within the public sector by providing solutions that enhance data management and commercialisation for local governments.

## Notice

We believe there may be an opportunity for the LGA to support the sector, by exploring the possibility of improving the quality and management of some key data and then making it available commercially as a national dataset. This model already exists for addressing and streets data, in the form of GeoPlace, a company owned by the LGA (jointly with Ordnance Survey). Such an endeavour would require a sustainable model, in which councils receive some income from their data (and the use of the data is strictly controlled), while the LGA also receives income for its role. We are keen to understand what data held by (all) councils might form part of such a model; and what data, if any, councils are already offering commercially. This research will provide valuable insights into whether this is a feasible business proposition. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
