## Summary

The Department for International Trade (DIT) is currently in the planning stage for a procurement titled "Investor Risk Reporting Function." This tender falls under the miscellaneous business-related services category, with a focus on providing risk reporting services that support inward investment by conducting third-party background checks on investors. The anticipated contract has an estimated total value of up to £200,000 inclusive of VAT for the first year. Key dates include a planned market engagement session on 28th February 2020, and the intention to publish the contract notice on 4th March 2020. The services will be delivered in London, England.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in risk assessment and reporting services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are encouraged to participate. Businesses that can offer online reporting platforms and comprehensive profiling capabilities, including economic and political assessments of investors globally, would be well-positioned to compete. The requirement not only aims to enhance the UK's inward investment strategy but also to safeguard government resources by focusing on reputable investors, thereby aligning economic interests with the protection of the government's reputation.
