## Notice

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Tuesday 25th September 2018 at 14:00 DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement The Industrial Strategy set an ambition to make the UK "the best understood major economy". It also stated that "the success of our Industrial Strategy will also depend on our ability to keep up with the pace with new sectors and emerging businesses." The Future Sectors policy team have an ongoing need to be able to identify individual businesses operating in new emerging sectors of the economy, or in parts of existing sectors that are transforming. As the analytical unit supporting the Future Sectors policy team, we need to identify and quantify the emerging sectors and business models to form a picture of the changing UK business base and opportunities. We conduct a bottom-up market analysis of the business base in emerging sectors of the economy. This helps us to assess the scale and strength of the business base in an emerging sector, but also understand the nature of the business activity in the UK (e.g. who are the downstream customers, which specific parts of the sector is the UK strong in). This help us to assess the potential for comparative advantage as well as being able to identify which businesses policy need to engage with in order to build up a picture of the opportunities and barriers facing the emerging sector in the UK, as we assess the case for government action.
