The work covers sectoral research and insight, aimed at describing the current UK Safety Tech landscape for policy purposes. It is a research and related consultancy service, within the broader research and development services category (CPV 73000000). Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom and may also cover the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is DSIT, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The requirement is a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Perspective Economics Limited on 10 August 2026 for £44,850 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 15 December 2026. It followed a mini-competition call-off from the RM6216 Research and Insight dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 11:00. The award is active. DSIT selected Perspective Economics Limited as the supplier for the full requirement: the UK Safety Tech sector snapshot report. The process was evaluated through the research and insight competition route, with the requirement focused on producing a concise, current and policy-relevant sector overview. This award indicates demand from DSIT for focused market intelligence on the UK Safety Tech sector, rather than a broad communications or general research commission. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in economic or sector analysis, technology-market research and concise report production. Experience of translating evidence into policy-relevant findings would be important, as would the ability to establish an up-to-date view of an evolving safety technology sector and present it clearly for a government audience. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist research consultancy with relevant UK technology-sector knowledge could be competitive through the appropriate dynamic purchasing system route. Useful evidence would include comparable sector snapshots, stakeholder research and concise policy briefings. ## Notice ***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the DPS RM6216 Research and Insight Brief Description of Requirement The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) is seeking to commission a short, concise UK Safety Tech Sectoral 'snapshot' report to provide an up-to-date, policy-focused overview of the UK Safety Tech sector. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f348585-8ca3-47c0-8761-5e1f665b300b | | 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 | 12 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 12 Aug 2026 - 15 Dec 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £44,850 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £44,850 | | 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 | DSIT | | Locality | SWINDON | | Postcode area | 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 | Perspective Economics Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 12 Aug 2026 at 09:19 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f348585-8ca3-47c0-8761-5e1f665b300b - 11 Aug 2026 at 13:52 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f348585-8ca3-47c0-8761-5e1f665b300b - 11 Aug 2026 at 13:50 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f348585-8ca3-47c0-8761-5e1f665b300b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f348585-8ca3-47c0-8761-5e1f665b300b 12th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.uksbs.co.uk/pages/default.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
