## Summary

The procurement process for the "Research on Digital Trade" project, initiated by the Department for International Trade, entails a comprehensive review of digital trade data and statistics for the UK. The contract, valued at £79,860, falls under the research services category and was awarded following a selective procurement method via a framework agreement. The contract period began on 29th January 2019 and concluded on 30th September 2019. The tender period was open until 15th January 2019, with the delivery location set in London, United Kingdom.

This tender provided a prime opportunity for businesses, particularly those within the research and data analytics sectors, to offer their expertise in digital trade. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would have been well-suited to compete given the nature of the project, contributing to gaps identified in the UK's digital trade data landscape. Engaging in such tenders not only enhances visibility and credibility within the market but also fosters potential future collaborations with government entities.
