## Summary

The procurement process for the "PS21086 - UK Research and Development (R&D) Workforce Survey 2021/22" was initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, taking place in the research and development consultancy services industry. This award notice, dated 18th October 2021, marks the completion of the tender stage, following a selective procurement method through a call-off from the CCS DPS Agreement. The contract, valued at £145,147, commenced on 6th October 2021 and will run until 29th July 2022. The primary location for the associated delivery is Swindon, England.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly those in consultancy and data analysis sectors, who can leverage their expertise to contribute to nationwide R&D policy decisions. Firms equipped to engage with workforce data across various sectors—including industry, the third sector, and governmental roles—will be advantageous competitors. Those capable of providing comprehensive insights into R&D roles, research management, and innovation strategies will find alignment with the project objectives to enhance business innovation and meet the UK's R&D targets.

## Notice

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the CCS DPS Agreement (RM6018). This dataset will help to inform a wide range of R&D policy decisions including how to meet the 2.4% R&D target and how to increase business innovation. Currently, the available workforce data is partial and focuses on university and UKRI researchers only, with missing data on industry, third sector and government researchers as well as non-researcher R&D roles (e.g. research managers). This survey will cover all R&D sectors and funders. This will be the first survey to get comparable data from researchers, technicians, R&D managers and engineers who are not researchers but whose roles are essential for R&D and new-to-market and new-to-firm innovation.
