## Summary

The Department for International Trade is conducting a public procurement for mediation services under the title "OECD NCP Mediation Services". This initiative falls within the services industry category, specifically classified as arbitration and conciliation services (CPV code 79422000). The procurement process was initiated via a direct procurement method as a single tender action, with the contract awarded on 8th October 2019 and covering a period from 9th October 2019 to 31st March 2020. The award value is £100,000, and the service is expected to be delivered across various locations including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in mediation and dispute resolution services. Companies with expertise in providing independent mediation and a strong understanding of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises would be particularly well-suited to compete. The engagement of a reliable third party like the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution Limited demonstrates a commitment to quality, paving the way for other businesses to establish their presence in the sector and contribute to the effective handling of complaints related to multinational operations.

## Notice

The Department for International Trade maintains a National Contact Point (NCP) as part of its commitment to the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) on Responsible Business Conduct. The NCP provides mediation services as part of its complaints handling procedure. Mediation must be conducted by an independent third party outside of the UK NCP with specialist knowledge of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. CEDR will supply these services on behalf of the Department.
