## Summary

The public procurement process, initiated by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, involved a tender titled "Support to identify the cultural and legal barriers to data sharing across government." This contract, classified under research services, was primarily located in London, United Kingdom. The tender was awarded to Kantar UK Limited on 31 January 2020, with a contract value of £19,918.50, and it aimed to address the barriers regarding data sharing following the provisions outlined in the Digital Economy Act. The contract period commenced on 7 February 2020 and concluded on 31 March 2020, following a selective procurement method implemented through a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses engaged in research consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in data policy and legal frameworks. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete due to the nature of the project, which may require innovative and flexible approaches to address complex cultural and legal challenges within government data sharing. By participating in similar future tenders, these businesses can not only expand their operations but also contribute to significant improvements in public service delivery.

## Notice

This contract seeks research consultancy support to help identify the cultural and legal barriers to data sharing across government. The data sharing provisions within Part 5 of the Digital Economy Act (DEA) provide the context for this work. DEA data sharing provisions represented the most significant package of new data sharing powers for government in decades. However, use of the powers has been mixed. In particular, there has been limited usage of the public service delivery (PSD) power (chapter one of Part 5 of the Act) to date.
