## Summary

The recent procurement process was conducted by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), located at 100 Parliament Street, London, England. The procurement was for a sector study under the title "The Advanced Connectivity Technologies Sector Study 2025 prj_6285," focusing on research and development services. This project aims to bolster the UK's industry resilience and innovation within the Digital and Technology sector, particularly in Advanced Connectivity Technologies. The procurement utilised a selective method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, reaching the award stage by 18th December 2025. Deecon Consulting Limited, based in Denham Uxbridge, was awarded the contract valued at £139,050. The contract period began on 4th December 2025 and will conclude by 31st March 2026. The study includes delivery across multiple locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the wider UK.

This tender creates substantial business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in research and development services, particularly those aligned with the Advanced Connectivity Technologies sector which is prioritised by the DSIT's Science and Technology Framework. Businesses that can offer innovative analytical and consultancy services to support telecom and other domains will find this project to be well-aligned with their expertise. Engagement with government-led initiatives like this not only enhances the participating businesses' portfolio but also strengthens their positioning in the emerging tech markets of ACT, providing valuable networking and partnership opportunities within the wider UK tech ecosystem.

## Notice

The government's Industrial Strategy set out the eight critical sectors that have the greatest growth potential over the next decade and have a critical role in supporting national productivity, economic security and resilience, and the transition to net zero. The Digital and Technology sector is one of these critical sectors of which, Advanced Connectivity Technologies (ACT) is a priority frontier technology - as set out by DSIT's Science and Technology Framework. ACT and the networks they underpin are increasingly essential for industry, government and citizens. They are essential for telecoms networks but are also deployable in other domains like transport and enterprise networks, and defence and security settings. The increasing reliance across the economy on the connectivity that these technologies enable underpins DSIT's mission to develop a thriving UK ACT ecosystem. DSIT published the ACT market scoping analysis in June 2025 (discussed in further detail below), which was a rapid review of the size and scale of the UK telecoms ecosystem to identify firms aligned with ACT and their economic impact. This procurement outlines the requirement for a sector study to build on the initial market analysis to inform and support DSIT and wider government ambitions for ACT.
