## Summary

The Scottish Government, located in Glasgow, has recently completed the award stage of a tender for the provision of a commercial dataset for data linking, focusing on the IT services category. This contract aims to link information from inward investment and export promotion companies to measure performance metrics across Scotland. The procurement process began as a tender, leading to the award decision made on 27th May 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £10,500, has been given to Growth Flag (part of GC Insight), headquartered in Manchester. The primary goal is to evaluate the impact of support on the Scottish economy by monitoring metrics beyond conventional measurements such as job creation and export sales.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those focusing on data analytics and consulting, to engage with government contracts aimed at economic enhancement. Companies providing innovative solutions for data linking and performance monitoring are well-positioned to compete in such procurement processes. By participating, these businesses can contribute to and benefit from the strategic evaluation projects initiated by the government, potentially gaining valuable insights and fostering future collaborations. The successful supplier, Growth Flag, exemplifies a business taking advantage of such opportunities to deliver services that enhance government data capabilities and bolster economic evaluation efforts.

## Notice

The Scottish Government has a requirement to place a contract with an external service provider for the provision of a Commercial Dataset for Data Linking. The contract is for access to a commercial dataset to link the information from supported inward investment and export promotion companies, in order to monitor performance metrics across Scotland over and above the standard jobs, project numbers and export sales. The project is part of a wider evaluation project seeking to evaluate the impact of inward investment and export promotion support on the Scottish economy and how delivery partner support contributes to additional benefits ("spillovers").
