## Summary

The procurement process for the contract titled "CR19082 Comparative analysis of investment", initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, focused on research to evaluate the applicability of US investment findings to the UK market. The procurement was classified under services, with a particular emphasis on research and development consultancy services. The tender period concluded on 14th October 2019, and the contract commenced on 4th November 2019, scheduled to end on 30th June 2020, with a total value of £99,991. The delivery location for the services is London, United Kingdom, and the procurement method employed was selective through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in economic research, consultancy services, particularly for small and medium enterprises, due to its focus on investment analysis and effectiveness. Companies with expertise in market research, data analytics, or economic consultancy will find themselves well-suited to compete for similar projects. Engaging in this sector can enable businesses to expand their service offerings and gain valuable experience in public sector contracts.

## Notice

**This is not a call or competition** The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy had a requirement for research with the aim to assess to what extent the US findings with regards to different investment levels and patterns apply to the UK context. In doing so, it would also help establish to what extent different company types make different use of existing tax credits. We are also keen for the research to go beyond 'just' looking at levels, but also to look at the effectiveness of investment. This requirement was advertised on the CCS RM6018 Research Marketplace DPS
