## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is conducting an open procurement process titled "PROJ10047 - Growth Gateway," aimed at enhancing trade and investment opportunities in developing markets. This project has a total value of £28,500,000 and falls within the category of foreign economic-aid-related services. The tender period is set to conclude on 26 November 2020, while the contract is expected to start on 3 March 2021, lasting until 2 March 2025. The procurement is being undertaken to provide better resources and responsive services to businesses looking to operate in developing countries.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) who are well-positioned to contribute to the Growth Gateway programme. Companies specialising in economic development, international trade, and investment facilitation could thrive, as the initiative seeks to bridge businesses with developing markets and create positive social impacts. As the opportunity targets businesses with expertise in delivering responsive services and signposting for trade instruments, it caters to a diverse range of service providers aiming to maximise their impact in global trade.

## Notice

The Growth Gateway will increase the volume and type of trade and investment that generates positive benefits for poor women and men. It will achieve this through (i) better signposting to increase the utilisation of HMG "offer to business" instruments serving developing country markets; and (ii) provide responsive services to global businesses and the HMG network to facilitate more trade and investment with developing markets and increase its development impact.
