## Summary

The procurement process led by Leeds City Council, titled "STEAM Economic Impact 2025," focuses on researching the impact of tourism. Categorised under "Research and development services and related consultancy services," this contract encompasses various regions in the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement stage is complete, with the award announced on 13th October 2025. This contract, with a duration from 29th September to 31st December 2025, involves a total contract value of £15,000. The procurement method used was direct, as it falls below the threshold allowing for an award without competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the tourism research sector. Firms that specialise in economic impact analysis and possess a keen understanding of the UK tourist economy would be well-positioned to deliver on the contract's objectives. The suitability for a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) is further evidenced by the participation of Global Tourism Solutions (UK) Limited, a designated SME supplier. This suggests that businesses similar in scale and expertise could effectively compete for future tenders of this nature, enabling business growth through involvement in governmental contracts.
