Summary of the contracting process

The Department for International Trade initiated a procurement process titled "Defend Phase 2," aimed at developing a strategy for ensuring the continued supply of critical goods amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The contract, valued at approximately £2,358,104, falls under the business services category and encompasses delivery across various regions, including the United Kingdom and overseas territories. The procurement method employed was selective, using a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 3rd June 2020, and the contract period extending from 4th June to 3rd August 2020. The tender status has since been marked as complete.

This contracting opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, particularly in the consulting and strategy development sectors, to engage in high-value projects addressing critical supply chain issues. Firms experienced in business services, including law, marketing, and recruitment, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in this critical area. This procurement underscores the need for strategic expertise to navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic, further highlighting market demands in resilience planning and supply chain management.
