## Summary

The Department for International Trade (DIT) has completed a procurement process for a project titled "Business Activity Analysis" within the research services industry category. This selective procurement process involved a dynamic purchasing system, with the tender period ending on 13 March 2020 and the contract running from 17 June 2020 to 15 October 2020. The total contract value was £177,747.50, and the contract was awarded to ICF Consulting on 2 April 2020, with the award notice published on 18 August 2020.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that focus on activity analysis and service refinement. The knowledge gained from this project can deepen understanding of service costs, making it an ideal scenario for firms that can provide insights into the delivery and financial planning of departmental services. Businesses with relevant expertise could leverage this opportunity to enhance their growth and engagement with government departments.

## Notice

The requirement is for the supplier to refine a list of services and programmes for the Department for International Trade (DIT) and carry out activity analysis to understand the current delivery of those services and programmes. This research will therefore deepen DIT's understanding the cost basis of the department's services, and ultimately strengthen the development of a chargeable services policy, workforce strategy and the department's financial planning.
