## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, is awarding a contract titled "CR20151" for research and development consultancy services in the industry category of market and economic research. This award, part of a selective procurement process via a dynamic purchasing system, reached its tender stage with a deadline that has since passed, specifically on 20 January 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 1 March 2021 and will conclude on 9 August 2021. The awarded contract has a total value of £59,380.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in research and consultancy services. Companies with expertise in data analysis, report writing, and the presentation of research findings would be particularly well-suited to participate. With the expectation of delivering comprehensive datasets and insightful reports, potential bidders should emphasise relevant experience and adhere to specified style guidelines to enhance their chances of success.

## Notice

**THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION** This award was made under Crown Commercial Services Research Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System RM6018 Research outputs Please cost and provide full details as to your approach (with details of relevant experience) for producing the following: 4.1 Dataset A fully labelled, clean data set in SPSS format is required to allow us to carry out further analysis should we need to. This should be provided alongside some top line findings prior to the final report. 4.2 Report The final output required is a report comprising a commentary of the results, with a short executive summary bulleting the headline findings and a technical annex to allow the research to be replicated. The analysis should be presented as a series of tables showing frequencies and percentages for each question, and some key breaks and cross tabs where appropriate. It is important that the report follows the Acas style guidance for research publications found in Annex A. It is also important that any visualisations follow the Office for National Statistics guidelines which can be found here. Any submissions that do not take this guidance into account will not be considered. For any questions that were used in the last evaluation as a baseline upon which to build future evaluations, the report should make comparisons and reference the equivalent figure for the last evaluation. The report will be used both internally and externally and needs to be written and presented as such, in similar style to the report from the 2018 evaluation, only where the aforementioned style guidance allows. 4.3 Presentation of findings This will need to cover the main points covered in the final report in presentation format. A slide deck in Microsoft PowerPoint may be the most appropriate format, although we are open to suggestions should contractors have other more suitable mediums to use. This is likely to be held in Summer 2021.
