The procurement process undertaken by the Department for International Trade (DIT) involved securing access to the Global Soft Power Index, a service intended to enhance DIT's communication and campaign strategies. The contract, valued at £20,000, is part of the miscellaneous business services category. It was awarded after a single tender action, with the contract period extending from 10th March 2021 to 31st March 2021.

Engaging in this procurement process could help such businesses expand their profiles and client bases, particularly within governmental sectors.
