## Summary

The Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is conducting a tender for "Strategy and policy support related to Rules of Origin" as part of its initiative to ensure smooth trade between the UK and the EU. The procurement process, which is currently in the award stage, has a contract value of £80,000. The successful supplier will be expected to begin work by 23rd July 2018, with project completion due by 23rd September 2018. This open procurement method allows participation from various suppliers, and proposals must have been submitted by the deadline of 6th July 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development services, particularly those with expertise in business and management consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should consider submitting their bids, as the BEIS is open to proposals from this sector. Successful bidders will engage directly with BEIS, providing vital support as the organisation navigates complex negotiations on trade regulations and product classifications with the EU.

## Notice

The rules of origin negotiated in a future trade agreement with the EU will be of vital importance to ensuring that EU-UK trade can continue as freely as possible. Negotiations on rules of origin are typically conducted on a line by line basis covering all 5206 product codes of the World Customs Organisations Harmonised System, which for the purposes of international trade allows participating countries to classify traded goods on a common basis. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will have a direct interest in sixteen out of twenty-one sections of the Harmonised System, covering 3410 BEIS owned products. This is a complex area and we are now looking for some dedicated support to supplement the activity of the BEIS teams. Additional information: How to Apply: If you wish to take part in this procurement please see the attached Tender documents attached to this Notice and send your completed Proposal to Blake Bower at the email address stipulated in the "Who to Contact" section and as per the instructions in the ITT. Any late submissions will not be considered. BEIS reserves the right to halt the procurement process and to not award a contract. BEIS will not be held liable for recovery of costs from unsuccessful bids if a contract is not awarded. All costs will be borne by the bidding organisations. If a contract is created it will be upon the Short Form Terms and Conditions, which are available on Contracts Finder with this notice. After reviewing and evaluating the written proposals, BEIS may decide to undertake bid clarification with suppliers. The contract is expected to start on the 23rd July 2018 when it is likely the supplier will need to attend a kick-off meeting at BEIS. Project completion is required by 23rd September 2018.
