## Summary

The procurement process titled "Review of the Implementation of the PSC register" was initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, focusing on the research and development consultancy services sector. The project is based in London and is currently in the Award stage, with the award having taken place on 10th October 2018. The total contract value is £120,000, with the contract period set to run from 12th October 2018 to 29th March 2019. This tender was pursued using a selective procurement method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender period concluded on 18th September 2018.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the consultancy and research sectors, particularly those with expertise in regulatory assessments and transparency studies. Companies with a background in policy analysis, social research, or related fields would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, as they can leverage insights from past projects to enhance their proposals. Engaging in this tender not only allows firms to showcase their capabilities but also positions them strategically within a growing sector focused on compliance and research efficacy.

## Notice

The overarching aim of this project is to provide a credible body of research that takes into account a number of perspectives and data streams that will detail the effectiveness of the 2016 PSC regulations. This analysis will contribute to the formation of the post- implementation review of the 'PSC Register' regulations (including the protection regime addendum) due to be published in June 2019. This research project will therefore seek to collect data that would allow an assessment and understanding of the costs, benefits, and overall effectiveness of the PSC register in promoting transparency, and if the protection regime provides adequate protection for vulnerable PSCs.
