## Summary

The Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport is seeking expertise through the tender titled "Data Protection Business Readiness Research". This project, classified under business and management consultancy services, focuses on assessing the data protection risks businesses may face if the UK transitions to a third country under GDPR regulations. The contract, valued at £90,000, is currently in the award stage, having had its final decision published on 19th December 2018. The contract period runs from 28th November 2018 to 5th January 2019.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data protection and consultancy services. Companies that can demonstrate experience in risk assessment, particularly those geared towards aiding both SMEs and larger organisations in navigating complex regulatory environments, would be well-suited to compete. The selective procurement method indicates that the buyer is looking for qualified suppliers who can deliver insights and guidance on sectoral risks, making this an attractive tender for firms with relevant capabilities in the consultancy field.

## Notice

The purpose of this work is to help DCMS understand data protection risk for businesses if the UK becomes a third country with respect to the GPDR. In the final report, we want guidance on the level of risk businesses face, how prepared they are to tackle risks, and what the likely residual risk would be based on existing plans. We would also like a sectoral analysis covering 18 sectors (see below) and an analysis of respective risks faced by SMEs and large businesses.
