This tender falls under the services category and aims to generate quarterly reports on trends, issues, and opportunities in urban innovation across UK cities. The tender is currently in the active stage, with submissions due by 21st March 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 27th March 2017, lasting until 26th March 2018. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in urban innovation and advanced urban services. Companies that can effectively gather, analyse, and report on urban development trends will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Additionally, SMEs focusing on market research methodologies and stakeholder engagement will find this tender particularly relevant to their capabilities. ## Notice The Future Cities Catapult is a technology and innovation centre set up by Government to advance innovation, to grow UK companies to make cities better. We are seeking a provider to generate quarterly reporting on trends, issues and opportunities in UK cities to inform internal business planning (including our Relationship Development strategy, events programme and research efforts), to resource priority external stakeholders (eg. HMG) and to support knowledge sharing / market creation. Knowing what UK cities are doing, thinking and concerned about in relation to urban innovation is vital to informing Future Cities Catapult's opportunity development, expert analysis and stakeholder engagement activities. However, at present, neither we, nor HM Govt or the wider cities sector have a regular, coordinated view of such trends, issues and emerging opportunities. To maintain our position at the cutting edge of urban innovation, we are seeking to grow our knowledge of the innovative projects, research and policy ideas taking place across the UK cities. The successful supplier will be generating of quarterly reports presenting key trends, emerging issues and developments in UK cities (principally, but not exclusively local authorities) related to urban innovation / the advanced urban services sector. Content is to be gathered by a mixture of desk research, scanning of published materials and light-touch stakeholder surveying.
