## Summary

The Department for Culture Media & Sport (DCMS) has recently completed a procurement process titled "Thinkbroadband Data Set," aimed at acquiring market research services as part of their evaluation of the Superfast programme. This direct tender was valued at £40,000 and took place in London, specifically at SW1A 2BQ. The tender period concluded on 30 April 2020, while the contract was active from 1 May 2020 until 31 May 2020. Notably, this procurement was structured as a single tender action, below the threshold for competitive bidding, thereby streamlining the decision-making process.

This tender has created potential growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in data analysis and market research services. Businesses with expertise in providing comprehensive data sets and analytical services, particularly those familiar with the telecommunications sector, would be well-suited to support future requirements from DCMS or similar public entities. Competing in this space can lead not only to direct contractual engagements but also to building a portfolio with public sector clients, which can enhance credibility and open doors to additional opportunities.
