Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is currently involved in the procurement process for the "UK-ROK Digital Market Access Research Project," aimed at identifying challenges faced by UK companies in selling digital services to South Korea. This initiative, classified under the CPV codes for market research and business consultancy services, will take place in multiple locations including the United Kingdom and several British Overseas Territories. The contract period is scheduled to run from 15th November 2021 to 18th March 2022, following a tender period that concluded on 22nd October 2021. The procurement method employed is a limited approach, specifically a competitive quotation process below threshold amounts.

Opportunities for business growth within this tender are particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in market research, digital services, or consultancy. These businesses can actively engage in the tendering process by leveraging their expertise to contribute valuable insights into market access barriers, and potentially position themselves as preferred suppliers for future consultancy projects. The research findings could assist UK firms in overcoming specific obstacles, thereby creating a robust entry pathway into the South Korean digital market.
