Notice Title

USA Export Plan

Notice Description

The Scottish Government published a Trading Nation: A plan for Growing Scottish exports on 1 May 2019. The plan aims to increase the value of exports from 20% to 25% of Scotland's GDP over the next 10 years. This could add around 3.5 billion GBP to GDP and create 17,500 more jobs. A Trading Nation was developed using data driven analysis and market intelligence to identify the priority sectors, markets and types of businesses that are most likely to drive growth in exports. The end goal of the USA Export Plan is to produce an export focused report that seeks to identify the US states that offer the best match and opportunity for Scottish export strengths and our ambitions as set out in A Trading Nation and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The export plan will help us better understand the longer term trends within these huge markets and focus our resources to better drive export success in these continental sized economies. Whilst broader in-market commercial opportunities should be understood the main thrust of this plan is to boost exports from Scottish based companies to the USA, and to understand the best ways for the Scottish Government and its agencies to facilitate this outcome. Information gleaned from this study could also help inform the Scottish Government's broader trade policy priorities within the UK-led state level MoU programme, and should the UK-USA free trade negotiations restart. The end goal of the USA Export Plan is to produce an export focused report that seeks to identify the US states that offer the best match and opportunity for Scottish export strengths and our ambitions as set out in A Trading Nation and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.

Renewal: Initial duration will be 4 months with an option to extend the contract for an additional 2 months.
