The procurement process is initiated by the Department for International Trade, targeting the services sector, specifically under the classification of "Printed matter and related products." The tender titled "Research and Business Specialists WP5" has been awarded, with a contract value of £7,924,636. The contract period extends from 1st May 2014 to 30th April 2018, with the award date recorded as 21st April 2014. Published on 20th June 2018 for transparency, this tender was originally not announced at the time of award.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity for firms specialising in research and business consultancy services. Potential competitors may include large organisations experienced in providing such services, as the award was not deemed suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies ready to engage in substantial research projects and capable of delivering comprehensive business solutions would be particularly well-positioned to pursue similar future contracts.
