## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited, which recently awarded the tender titled "CR20095 - Understanding the links between social metrics and productivity." This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research and development consultancy, and is based in Swindon, England. The contract award occurred on 4th November 2020, following a tender period that concluded on 16th October 2020. The awarded contract has a total value of £60,000 and is set to last from 5th November 2020 to 26th February 2021.

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possessing expertise in economic and market research. Competitors with capabilities in developing analytical frameworks and conducting empirical studies related to social metrics and productivity could particularly benefit from this procurement. This is an excellent opportunity for businesses focused on consultancy services, as the established contract aims to enhance strategic evaluations of industrial policies.

## Notice

** THIS TENDER IS CLOSED ** Award of contract via the CCS DPS Agreement RM6018 via further competition. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. The requirement is for projects that (1) set out a clear analytical/theoretical approach to investigate the links between social metrics and productivity and then (2) produce empirical evidence applying that approach. This new evidence will support the work of the Council Team in evaluating the impact of Industrial Strategy policies. We do not expect this research to consider the impact of Industrial Strategy policies, just how social metrics interact with productivity.
