Tender description

BIST has developed an externally facing digital product called The Innovation Clusters Map. The Map is a tool developed to support the UK's ambition to foster regional innovation and drive economic growth. It identifies and visualises geographically concentrated clusters of businesses in key sectors, focussing on clusters which are actively engaged in research, development and innovation. This data-driven method allows clusters to emerge organically based on where businesses are located, rather than being constrained by administrative boundaries. ## Contract award

About the buyer

The Department for Science Innovation and Technology is a central government department, and a dedicated commercial directorate leads on its procurement work alongside project and delivery teams. Larger opportunities are advertised as notices on the Find a Tender Service. Common goods and services are bought through Crown Commercial Service frameworks. UK Shared Business Services, a shared-services provider, manages many of the department's lower-value procurements on its behalf. Low-value orders require multiple supplier quotes to ensure value for money. Supplier diversity targets guide how contracts reach small and medium-sized enterprises across the supply chain.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Department for Science Innovation and Technology's contract awards have been in IT services, research and development and software and information systems.
