This initiative aims to attract high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) to the UK through tailored events. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement session set for 2nd March 2020 and a contract notice to be published on 4th March 2020. The deliverables are centred around organising significant and bespoke investment events located in London, under the classification of miscellaneous business and business-related services. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in event management, particularly those with experience in working with high-net-worth clients and corporate sponsorship. Businesses that can demonstrate extensive networks, the ability to secure sponsorships, and proficiency in logistics and event administration would be particularly well-suited to compete. The focus on tailored investment programmes also opens avenues for businesses that understand global investment trends and the specific interests of HNWIs. ## Notice The Department for International Trade ("DIT") has a potential requirement for the provision of a strategic partner to attract the right individual investors (HNWI) to the UK through bespoke programmes, tailored to specific interests and put together through matchmaking them with UK investment opportunities. This will be completed by delivering three major events and leading up to 30 smaller events per annum. Therefore, the supplier must possess an extensive network of corporate partners and the ability to secure sponsorship, discounts and promotional tickets for events, as well as experience working with HNWIs and Family Offices across global markets. This experience should be utilised to identify potential HNWIs, who have interest in the UK or various industries or cultural attractions as candidates for these tailored events. In addition to organising and delivering the events, the supplier must provide an end to end service, including providing full support on logistics, administration, contingency planning and an on the day presence ahead of each visit. An example of a major event could be an evening reception for 10+ HNWIs in a prestigious venue that showcases the best of British and an example of a smaller event could be supporting a conference by sourcing refreshment or entertainment sponsorship. An example of a programme could be a 2-day programme in the UK for a single HNWI tailored to their specific investment interests. The provider should have extensive knowledge and understanding of HNWI and their investment interests and trends across the world in order to work with the department to encourage the right type of investment into UK companies. The Secretary of State for DIT is the contracting authority responsible for meeting this anticipated requirement. DIT are planning a Market Engagement session on the 2nd March 2020. DIT intends to publish the Contract Notice 4th March 2020. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fada9a25-79f6-4e97-bd51-fd1d93035216 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Mar 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE | | 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 | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79900000 - Miscellaneous business and business-related services ## Release History - 31 Jan 2020 at 16:05 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fada9a25-79f6-4e97-bd51-fd1d93035216 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fada9a25-79f6-4e97-bd51-fd1d93035216 31st January 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e6395c7c-39d6-4a86-be8f-d07f023fcdf5 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
