## Summary

The procurement process titled "Business Insight" was led by the City of Doncaster Council, based in Doncaster, United Kingdom. This project, categorised under research and consultancy services, focuses on obtaining economic intelligence to support the council's economic strategy and business engagement in the Doncaster area. The contract, initiated as a direct procurement method without competition, was signed on April 1, 2026, and is set to run until March 31, 2029, with a gross contract value of £122,040. The process is currently at the award stage, with the tender having been completed and awarded.

This tender opens up opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses focused on market research, economic research, and research consultancy services. The successful supplier, Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise, is an SME classified as a VCSE, indicating a preference for enterprises with similar community-focused values. Organisations able to provide robust economic intelligence and work closely with local authorities will be well-suited for future tenders in this vein, thereby fostering strategic policy development and proactive economic responses within the region.

## Notice

The proposed commission is required to secure a consistent, robust and locally specific source of economic intelligence to support the Council's economic strategy, inward investment activity, employer engagement and evidence-based decision making. The Business Insight Programme will deliver structured engagement with hundreds of Doncaster businesses annually, providing both quantitative survey data and qualitative intelligence from senior business leaders. This intelligence underpins strategic policy development, enables early identification of emerging risks and opportunities within the local economy, and supports proactive responses to business confidence, investment intentions, skills challenges and sector specific pressures. Without this programme, the Council would lack a coherent and longitudinal evidence base tailored specifically to Doncaster's business community.
