## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) seeking to conduct in-depth research titled "Ensuring Future Wireless Connectivity Needs are Met". This service falls under the category of 'Research and development services and related consultancy services', with a total contract value of £149,055. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 20th October 2021 and concluded on 7th February 2022, concluding the formal award of the contract on 25th October 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on research and consultancy, particularly in telecommunications and connectivity analysis. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find a conducive environment to compete, given the supplier's voids in diverse connectivity needs across various geographic regions in the UK. Engaging with this type of research could bolster business growth by aligning firms with governmental objectives aimed at future connectivity enhancements.

## Notice

DCMS is seeking a supplier to conduct analysis to better understand UK connectivity needs (across population groups, across geographic areas, etc) over the next decade, and the extent to which cellular connectivity (4G, 5G) will cater for these needs and where it may not. The provider will help identify areas in the market where there might be a need for government policy to ensure that connectivity needs are met.
