Enhanced International Support Service - North America
Notice Description
The Department for International Trade (DIT) has awarded the contract for the Enhanced International Support Service (EISS) in North America. The contract has been awarded through a competitive procurement in accordance with the provisions set out in the ITT documentation. The requirement awarded contract shall be for a period of three years including an implementation period with the Authority having the option to extend by two periods of up to 12 months. The implementation period will begin prior to the start date of 1.10.2020. The EISS replaces the Overseas Business Network (OBN) on expiry of current arrangements.
