Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Enterprise is seeking tenders for the "SDI Technical Support Framework" to provide essential support to Scottish companies with trade process and regulatory enquiries, particularly in light of Brexit implications. This procurement falls under the services category and is currently at the Award stage, with the contracts signed on 6th November 2017. The procurement, conducted through an open procedure, had two main lots: one for technical enquiry handling and another for export process workshops. The services will be delivered in Glasgow and associated regions, responding to an anticipated increase in complex trade enquiries.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in export regulation support, technical enquiry handling, and workshop facilitation for small groups. Companies with expertise in international trade documentation, customs processes, and legal regulations will be particularly suited to compete. With a framework duration of three years and a potential extension, suppliers can establish long-term partnerships with Scottish Enterprise, enhancing their market presence and capabilities in the evolving landscape of international trade.

                "description": "This is a contract award notice, please do not respond to this notice. Scottish Enterprise is seeking to tender a package of support to service the demand from Scottish based companies with trade process and regulatory enquiries to help them internationalise. It is anticipated that the level of these enquiries is likely to increase in volume and complexity as the implications of Brexit for international trade regulations and processes becomes clearer. It should be emphasised that this service is focussed on the actual requirements on companies relating to the international process and regulatory environment as opposed to options appraisal relating to potential changes. This will be achieved by setting up a single supplier framework with 2 Lots, Lot 1 being the provision of Technical Enquiry Handling and Lot 2 the development and delivery of Export Process, Documentation and Regulatory Workshops.",
