## Summary

The British Film Institute (BFI) is currently overseeing a tender titled "Mapping the UK's Animation Sector - Stage Two," published on 8th October 2020. This procurement falls under the research consultancy services category and is active within the UK, specifically in London (W1T 1LN). The current procurement stage is tendering, with a submission deadline set for 28th October 2020. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest via the designated portal to access relevant documentation. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, classified as below threshold.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in research consultancy, particularly those specialising in market research, economic analysis, and evaluation consulting. Companies that can deliver high-quality primary research and are adept at mapping sector-specific data will be well-positioned to compete. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically encouraged to participate, making this an ideal opportunity for firms looking to expand their portfolio in the creative sector, particularly in animation and its economic impact.

## Notice

BFI is seeking to commission primary research to enable a full mapping of the UK's animation sector in terms of its size in terms of both economic value and workforce. A robust and rigorous articulation of the sector's economic value, the number and location of animation companies and the number and type of roles in which people are employed - as well as an articulation of the funding models and length of time to both make an monetize content - are required in order to arrive at a more robust estimate of the size, economic impact of the UK's animation sector and its wider value chain, and to enable the sector to be better understood by investors, decision-makers and policy makers. It will utilise and build on the animation sector definitions and partial economic estimates established in Mapping the UK's Animation Sector which the BFI commissioned in 2019 and completed in April 2020. The identified evidence gaps to be addressed at Stage Two encompass three themes: o Improving mapping accuracy; o Improving economic impact calculations; and o Understanding employment and skills of the core and ancillary animation sector.
