Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office commissioned a market research and sector-scoping report on South Korea’s agri-tech market for the British Embassy in Seoul. The work covers analysis of the market landscape, mapping relevant stakeholders, assessing regulation, identifying commercial opportunities and making recommendations for UK engagement. Delivery is in South Korea. This is a research and advisory services requirement, rather than a purchase of agricultural technology or equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Intralink Korea Co., Ltd. The FCDO used a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot covered the full research and reporting requirement; no award evaluation criteria are recorded in the supplied details. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 January 2027. Its value is £20,000 gross. The award is active, as is the contract.

For future work of this kind, credible suppliers will need to combine strong knowledge of South Korea’s agri-tech sector with the ability to produce practical market intelligence for UK government engagement. Relevant capabilities include researching market structure and commercial opportunities, identifying and mapping influential stakeholders, and assessing local regulatory requirements. The recommendations must translate findings into useful options for UK engagement, so experience delivering clear, evidence-based reports for public-sector or international clients would be valuable. Local market access and the ability to conduct research in South Korea are likely to support effective delivery. The selected supplier is a large company, indicating that the buyer has contracted with an established provider for this assignment.
