## Summary

The contract titled "GB-London: 102172 - Data Foundations Review" has been issued by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and focuses on research and experimental development services. This procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the tender period closing on 9th December 2020. The project aims to investigate the challenges and impacts of enhancing data foundations on the UK’s data-driven technology landscape. The total allocated budget for this project ranges from £50,000 to £100,000, with the contract expected to commence on 21st December 2020 and run until 22nd March 2021. The geographical scope includes delivery addresses across the UK including British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those focused on data utilisation and technology. Companies with expertise in data management, analytics, or artificial intelligence are well-suited to compete, especially those from the voluntary and community sector, as this project encourages their participation. Engaging in this contract could not only enhance business portfolios but also contribute to advancing the UK’s competitiveness in emerging data technologies.

## Notice

The potential value of data is being under-exploited and is going unrealised within the UK economy. Given that data is crucial to the development and innovation of data-driven technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation and robotics, this lack of data exploitation is hindering UK economic competitiveness and productivity. The purpose of this research project is to gather practical evidence to better understand the private and third sector data foundations landscape. The project should explore: (i) what are the barriers to data foundations being adopted and how can we measure adoption, (ii) what can be done to overcome these barriers; and, (iii) the impact of improving data foundations on the adoption of AI and data-driven technologies and the participation in data markets.
