## Summary

The British Film Institute (BFI) is seeking to commission a project titled "Mapping the UK's Animation Sector - Stage Two," aimed at comprehensively assessing the economic size and workforce of the UK's animation industry. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with the contract already awarded to Hatch Associates Ltd. The project period is set to run from 23 November 2020 to 5 February 2021, following a tender period that closed on 28 October 2020. This contract falls under the research consultancy services category, specifically focusing on market and economic research.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in research consultancy, particularly those adept at economic impact studies and market analysis. Companies with expertise in mapping sectoral data and understanding employment statistics within the creative industries would be particularly well-suited to compete in future similar opportunities. Given the focus on the animation sector, firms with prior experience in cultural research or those capable of delivering detailed insights into the creative workforce are encouraged to explore potential collaborations or submissions for upcoming tenders in this area.

## Notice

BFI is seeking to commission primary research to enable a full mapping of the UK's animation sector in terms of its size in terms of both economic value and workforce. A robust and rigorous articulation of the sector's economic value, the number and location of animation companies and the number and type of roles in which people are employed - as well as an articulation of the funding models and length of time to both make an monetize content - are required in order to arrive at a more robust estimate of the size, economic impact of the UK's animation sector and its wider value chain, and to enable the sector to be better understood by investors, decision-makers and policy makers. It will utilise and build on the animation sector definitions and partial economic estimates established in Mapping the UK's Animation Sector which the BFI commissioned in 2019 and completed in April 2020. The identified evidence gaps to be addressed at Stage Two encompass three themes: o Improving mapping accuracy; o Improving economic impact calculations; and o Understanding employment and skills of the core and ancillary animation sector.
