## Summary

The British Tourist Authority, trading as VisitBritain/VisitEngland, has completed a procurement process for the "C1436 BTA2222 Anholt Nation Brands Index 2026" contract, intended for economic research services. This tender falls under the services category and was classified under the CPV code 79311400. The procurement method was limited, involving an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the absence of competition for technical reasons and the protection of exclusive rights. The contract was awarded to EARTHSPEAK LTD T/A ANHOLT and CO, reflecting a unique situation where they are the sole supplier capable of delivering the required survey. The award was officially completed on 17th June 2026, with a contract value of £60,125 GBP. The service location includes the UK and international regions, denoted by the address region code UKG31, Birmingham.

This tender provides a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in economic research services and those capable of delivering exclusive, proprietary surveys. Specifically, companies that can establish unique offerings or hold exclusive rights to specific methodologies or processes would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. The procurement showcases an instance where specialised SMEs, such as EARTHSPEAK LTD, can leverage their exclusive capabilities to secure prestigious projects with organisations like VisitBritain. Businesses aiming to compete in such tenders should focus on developing niche expertise and securing intellectual property rights to increase their competitive advantage.

## Notice

The Anholt Nation Brands Index is a unique proprietary survey and Earthspeak/Anholt are the sole supplier who can deliver the survey. The survey has been running for many years and VisitBritain has been participating since 2008.
