## Summary

The British Business Bank recently awarded a contract for the "GB-Sheffield: Small Business Finance Survey" to Ipsos (Market Research) Ltd as part of a procurement process under the CCS Research & Insights DPS - RM6126. This contract, valued at £139,999, falls under the category of research services and has a geographical scope that includes British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, among others. The award was completed on 25th June 2025, with the contract period running from 10th September 2025 to 9th September 2026. The procurement stage is marked as "award," and the process was initiated through a tender. The procurement method was unspecified by the contracting authority, the British Business Bank, headquartered in Sheffield.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research services, particularly those specialising in comprehensive finance surveys for small businesses. While the primary award went to a large entity, Ipsos (Market Research) Ltd, smaller niche research firms can explore sub-contracting possibilities or future tenders. Such businesses could benefit from showcasing an adept understanding of small business finance analysis and the ability to undertake rigorous market research. Additionally, while SMEs and VCSEs were not prioritised in this instance, these organisations might look towards understanding requirements and methodologies that larger firms employ, potentially capitalising on related upcoming projects initiated by public sector entities like the British Business Bank.
