## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is conducting a tender titled "UK SBS FWRECR16126BEIS - Quantitative Analysis of individuals in the gig economy - adding questions to existing survey," focusing on research and development consultancy services. This procurement process, classified under CPV code 73200000, is currently at the Award stage, with the contract having commenced on 2nd March 2017 and scheduled to end on 31st August 2017. The total value of the contract is £56,326, and the delivery address is located in Swindon, England. The tender period concluded on 13th January 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and analysis, particularly those experienced in market and economic research. Companies that focus on statistical analysis, survey design, and data collection in the gig economy sector would be well-suited to engage in similar future projects. The insights derived from such research are crucial for understanding emerging labour trends, making this a valuable area for growth in the consultancy landscape.

## Notice

BIS Research & Evaluation Framework Lot 1 The gig economy is an emerging and rapidly developing area. The gig economy comprises of individuals finding work via online employment platforms eg. Uber, Taskrabbit. The Government is interested in understanding the role of this new way of working, how many people are finding work in this way, what role skills and training have to play in the gig economy, and the experiences of those who have found work through the gig economy. Therefore the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is commissioning two separate pieces of research on this: 1. This specification relates to quantitative analysis involving estimating the number of people working in the gig economy and to examine their characteristics (outlined in this document) 2. Qualitative analysis involving interviews with individuals who have found work in the gig economy is a separate strand of work which is outside the scope of this specification. This mini competition invites bids to supply quantitative analysis in order to estimate the number of people working in the gig economy and to examine their characteristics. We think this work would lend itself to inserting a small number of questions in to an existing survey.
