## Summary

The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) has recently awarded a contract for the project named Rural Entrepreneurial Support Analytics. This project aims to develop an analytical toolkit to help rural local authorities identify economic strengths and weaknesses for creating local investment strategies that enhance productivity and entrepreneurial activity. The contract, valued at £100,000 GBP, was awarded through a direct procurement method with a single tender action (below threshold) and has a contract period starting from October 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. The buying organisation is located in London, United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity could be beneficial for businesses providing research and development consultancy services, given the nature of the project. Companies looking to engage with rural local authorities and contribute to local investment strategies may find this tender attractive. The University of Northumbria is the current supplier for this contract, which can serve as a reference point for other organisations looking to participate in similar initiatives. The tender period ended on September 29, 2023, highlighting the completion of the procurement stage.

## Notice

The aim of the RESA project is to develop and share an analytical toolkit that enables rural local authorities (in the first instance) to identify their comparative economic strengths and weaknesses and use that to develop, in turn, a local investment strategy that would yield improved productivity, business survival and entrepreneurial activity.
