The procurement falls under the Research and development consultancy services industry category. The contract, valued at £80,000 GBP, was awarded through a selective procurement method with a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period is from 4th August 2022 to 31st October 2022, with a tender period ending on 1st July 2022. This procurement presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the research and development consultancy services sector to engage in projects related to UKCA marking requirements for goods sold in the GB market. Businesses interested in research and economic consultancy services focusing on market readiness and compliance with regulatory changes would be well-suited to participate in similar tenders. The buying organisation, UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in SWINDON, England, aims to assess the preparedness of UK-based importers and international manufacturers for UKCA regulations, offering potential areas for business growth and collaboration. ## Notice ***THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION**** This contract has been awarded. Aims and Objectives of the Project The aim of this project is to gain in-depth insight into whether international manufacturing businesses and the UK-based importers of their goods are aware of the new UKCA requirements, whether they are acting on them, the sort of challenges/barriers they face in adjusting to these changes and whether businesses have access to the relevent conformity assessment services if they need them. This information will help BEIS to address the question of whether non-UK manufacturing businesses and their UK-based importers are ready for the new UKCA requirements. It will also aid in addressing questions on the extent to disruptions to the economy and supply chains that could occur by the end of standstill (1 January 2023). There is a legal obligation for UK-based importers of non-UK manufactured goods to ensure correct product marking (if required). Therefore, this research will focus on gaining information on the readiness of UK-based importers and through them the readiness of non-UK manufactures for UKCA. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ccf3345c-dd35-4f88-8027-5c7a18bbc818 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Aug 2022 | | Contract period | 7 Aug 2022 - 31 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £75,385 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | I.F.F RESEARCH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics ## Release History - 30 Nov 2022 at 11:20 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ccf3345c-dd35-4f88-8027-5c7a18bbc818 - 4 Nov 2022 at 14:17 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ccf3345c-dd35-4f88-8027-5c7a18bbc818 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ccf3345c-dd35-4f88-8027-5c7a18bbc818 30th November 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9052a94c-ee58-4ed7-8134-fad6e0ae40ef ## Notice URLs - http://www.uksbs.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
