## Summary

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has completed a procurement process for the "Project to Provide Ongoing Analysis and News Reporting on the Gas and Oil Sectors." This tender, classified under research and development consultancy services (CPV code 73200000), took place in London and involved an open procurement method below the threshold.

Bidders were required to submit their proposals by 13:00 on 8 December 2017, and the procurement process included provisions to halt proceedings or not award a contract at BEIS's discretion.

With the ongoing need for updated analysis and forecasting in a rapidly changing industry, companies that can provide innovative solutions and insights stand to benefit from this contract engagement.
