## Summary

The procurement process for the "Great Investors Programme," initiated by the Department for International Trade, is now complete. This programme aimed to attract high-net-worth individual investors to the UK as part of the Government's GREAT Britain campaign, which seeks to enhance foreign direct investment. The classification for this tender falls under miscellaneous business and business-related services, with a total contract value of £1,357,600 and a minimum value of £678,800. The contract period spanned from 12 May 2016 to 20 May 2020, and the procurement was conducted through an open procedure. No submissions were received after the tender period ended on 1 May 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on facilitating investments in the UK and those equipped to organise bespoke programmes that encourage high-value investment. Companies specialising in networking, event management, and investment consultancy would be particularly well-suited for similar contracts. Additionally, small and medium enterprises could find opportunities for collaboration, as the programme supports their participation in offering tailored services that engage potential investors effectively.

## Notice

The GREAT Britain campaign is the Government's most ambitious international marketing campaign ever and showcases the very best of what Britain has to offer in order to encourage the world to visit, study, and do business with the UK. UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) are now seeking to extend a pilot programme that complements existing efforts to attract foreign direct investment to the UK by focussing on high-net worth individual investors. The objective is to attract the right high-value individual investors to the UK through bespoke programmes, tailored to specific interests and put together through matchmaking them with UK opportunities. It complements existing efforts by HMG to attract foreign direct investment to the UK by focusing on Individual Investors and family owned businesses that can bring significant commercial and philanthropic investments across a range of sectors. We are looking for a partner that can add value, experience and expertise in showcasing the UK through: arranging exceptional visits at minimal cost; identifying sponsored events and opportunities that will spark enthusiasm in investors/clients; networking at the highest levels; and work closely with us on a daily basis by seconding a member of staff into the UKTI/FCO team. Additional information: Contract was extended in May 2018 as allowed for within the contract terms
