## Summary

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has completed a public procurement process for a project titled "Understanding 'Tech for Good' in China." This initiative falls under the industry category of research consultancy services and took place in London, United Kingdom. The open procurement method, conducted via an open procedure, required interested suppliers to submit their proposals by the end date of 10 January 2020. The contract was awarded on 24 January 2020, with a total contract value of £62,750, and it commenced on 3 February 2020, concluding on 12 April 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in research consultancy services focusing on technological innovations that address social and environmental challenges. Companies that excel in sectors such as green technology, agricultural technology, health technology, and educational technology would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The focus on "tech for good" aligns with the growing demand for solutions that tackle pressing societal issues, making it an inviting prospect for businesses keen on contributing to social progress while expanding their market reach.

## Notice

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and The Office for Civil Society identified 'tech for good' as a key tool in the Civil Society Strategy (published in August 2019). The strategy sets out how government will work with and support Civil Society in the years to come and states that technological innovations can be used to tackle pressing social challenges. DCMS requires a supplier to provide a report on tech that is addressing pressing social and environmental challenges in China. This will include a broad stroke overview of central government strategies and activity in key sectors followed by a deep dive into a priority sector. We would like this work to focus only on Chinese activity that is addressing social challenges within green tech, agri tech, health tech and education tech.
