The procurement process is currently at the stage of an open procedure (below threshold). The project has a value of £40,000 and the tender period ends on 20th December 2022. The contract period is set to start on 11th January 2023 and end on 31st March 2023, with a focus on services in the Research and Development sector. This tender presents an opportunity for UK exporters in the organic products sector to explore the growing Japanese market. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Businesses aligned with providing research and development services and consultancy will find this tender suitable for expansion opportunities. The project aims to uncover market trends, consumer preferences, and barriers for UK organic products in Japan, supporting export activities and market access strategies. ## Notice The British Embassy in Tokyo is commissioning a research report to provide a deeper understanding of the Japanese organic food and drink market, identify potential opportunities for UK exporters and provide recommendations for activities that will help UK companies realise these opportunities. The UK's high quality organic produce seems to be a good fit for the Japanese market where quality and provenance is highly valued. We know the market is growing in Japan as the benefits of organic produce are increasingly recognised. We would like to better understand trends in the market, consumer preferences, specific opportunities for UK products, competitors and potential market access barriers. We will use the project outputs to inform our activities to expand exports to Japan of UK organic products. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfa17f6b-1ab3-4582-be62-cedcbbc228e5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | 20 Dec 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Jan 2023 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FOREIGN, COMMONWEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Dec 2022 at 17:44 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfa17f6b-1ab3-4582-be62-cedcbbc228e5 - 12 Dec 2022 at 20:21 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfa17f6b-1ab3-4582-be62-cedcbbc228e5 - 9 Dec 2022 at 17:19 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfa17f6b-1ab3-4582-be62-cedcbbc228e5 - 6 Dec 2022 at 01:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfa17f6b-1ab3-4582-be62-cedcbbc228e5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cfa17f6b-1ab3-4582-be62-cedcbbc228e5 14th December 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7b1db765-af53-4286-99b0-8f73789f1ac1 Cover Letter and Tendering Instructions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9519f968-4d08-400f-b46e-f62acc14d6bb Statement of Requirements and Evaluation Criteria - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fc9a2e87-15e2-4dac-8abf-7a05414a89bf Schedule of Prices and Rates - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/87e80b6c-4859-40d6-aa11-6ec78aef02e7 Terms & Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f80fb441-20e4-48c9-8acd-eeafe575c9ad Supplier Code of Conduct - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/abe97c12-fb06-477c-b305-f82b4519329e ATT 3 Commercial schedule for pricing and rates - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/15972cb7-8107-4058-a195-6f0c6dc7a7b0 Questions & Answers - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6af3233f-e590-4d55-ad47-b66d68099fe4 Questions & Answers ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
