Tender description

The project aims to generate information on emerging Defra sectors so that we can meaningfully input into industrial strategy and inform tools on business resilience in Defra. Within Strategic Economic Impacts (SEI) we work on analysis that examines how changes in the macroeconomic context could impact Defra. This includes looking at sectors and supply chains and how changes such as rising inflation will impact our supply chains and our sectors. Our analysis feeds into cross cutting work such as Industrial Strategy. ## Contract award
