This procurement falls under the services category, with the specific focus on research consultancy services. The tender is currently in the planning stage, having been published on 23rd August 2019, and will close for submissions on 20th September 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 17th October 2019 and will extend until 31st March 2020. Interested suppliers are required to register their interest through the designated procurement portal to access further documentation and submit their proposals. The tender will be conducted via an open procurement method. This opportunity presents significant potential for consultancy firms, especially those specialising in economic and social research services, to contribute to the strategic future of the screen sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may offer innovative solutions and fresh perspectives. Businesses with expertise in horizon scanning or foresight analysis will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities, allowing them to leverage their skills in analysing current and emerging trends that affect the industry's landscape. ## Notice We are seeking a supplier to deliver new research that identifies, evaluates and collates relevant trends that may impact the screen sector in the future. This process (a 'horizon scanning' exercise) requires looking beyond the immediate future to pose questions that will help the UK's screen sectors to determine how they think about the future (for example, by looking across the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, legal, public funding and audience landscapes) across the next 5-10 years, and to help us to understand what evidence is required in order to ensure that screen sector policy and strategy is informed by a future-looking evidence base that looks beyond the sectors themselves for the factors that will provide opportunities or challenges for future change. This research must also provide a global outlook. The outputs of the horizon scanning exercise should be a set of questions which will enable the UK's screen sectors to think about the wider implications and context in which they will be operating in 5-10 years' time.
