## Summary

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is currently conducting a tender for the project titled "GB-London: 102096 - Press Sector Financial Research." This initiative falls under the research services category and aims to analyse the financial aspects of the press sector, including the impact of Covid-19. The tender is active, with submissions due by 13 November 2020. The project is expected to commence on 27 November 2020 and conclude by 31 March 2021. The procurement follows an open procedure, with a contract value ranging from £25,000 to £50,000, and the services will be delivered in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in research and financial analysis. Businesses that have experience in evaluating industry financial health and can provide insights into the implications of crises like Covid-19 would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Participating firms will play a crucial role in shaping governmental press sustainability policies, thus contributing to long-term growth and partnerships within the sector.

## Notice

DCMS requires a research project to: 1) Examine costs, revenues, assets, and liabilities of individual firms and analyse findings at an aggregate level. Provide a short overall analysis of what can be inferred about financial sustainability of the sector from these findings. 2) Examine how the issues considered in (1) change over time and across different sub-sectors. More information is provided below. 3) Provide an initial analysis of the impact of Covid-19 on the sector and a discussion of how the crisis may alter financial dynamics analysed in (1) and (2). The primary aspects of the research will be (1) and (2), with the third section a shorter and more prospective discussion given limitations surrounding an analysis of Covid-19 impacts. The findings of this analysis will be presented through a final report and presentation. The project will be used to inform the Government's press sustainability policy in the context of structural decline and the Covid-19 crisis. The detailed financial analysis it provides will be used to aid the design of future interventions in the sector. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
