## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by H M Revenue & Customs, focusing on the research category under the title "Understanding Small Producers and Importers of Soft Drinks with Added Sugar." This initiative is located in London, UK, and falls under the 'services' industry, with a total contract value of £39,100. The procurement method employed was 'Other', and the tender was part of a mini competition within the DWP Social and Economic Research Framework initiated prior to the contract period starting from 27 June 2016 and ending on 31 December 2016.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in market research and analysis, particularly those with expertise in the beverage industry. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have the capability to conduct qualitative research would be well-suited to participate in such tenders. The focus on small producers and importers indicates potential opportunities for consultants or firms specialising in consumer behaviour and product impact analysis, especially in the context of the newly introduced industry levy on sugary drinks.

## Notice

This qualitative research will explore the range of small producers and importers of sugar-sweetened beverages, providing insights into their characteristics and operations. The Chancellor recently outlined a new industry levy on soft drinks with added sugar; this study may be used to inform legislation surrounding the levy, including the development of a threshold, relief or exemption for the smallest producers and importers. Additional information: This contract was let as part of a mini competition within the DWP Social and Economic Research Framework 2013
