The project aims to address specific barriers in Thailand's alcohol regulatory environment identified during the UK-Thailand Joint Economic Trade Committee. The deadline for proposal submissions is 26th October 2022, with a contract period from 21st November 2022 to 20th February 2023. This opportunity falls under the main procurement category of services, with a contract value of £50,000 GBP. This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy and market research services to explore and compare alcohol regulations within Thailand and ASEAN member states. Small and medium-sized enterprises are well-suited to bid for this project as it aims to provide insights and recommendations for reforms that could enable additional exports worth £79m over 5 years. Businesses with expertise in development consultancy and market research would find this tender suitable for contributing to the UK-Thailand trade cooperation agenda. ## Notice At the first UK-Thailand Joint Economic Trade Committee (JETCO) in June 2022, the UK raised several alcohol market access barriers. Minister Mordaunt and Minister Jurin agreed to a JETCO workplan including cooperation on alcohol through "information sharing sessions" covering three specific barriers: the non-specific excise tax system, sample import regulation, and product labelling. Industry estimate that resolving these specific barriers could enable additional exports worth PS79m/5years We now need to implement the JETCO workplan, and deliver these "information sharing sessions" in a manner which best makes progress on the barriers To support this, we propose to commission a project to deliver an independent comparative study on Thailand's alcohol regulatory environment. This project would: * explore how different ASEAN Member States' policies vary and compare to Thailand's approach, focusing particularly on the two specific barriers identified in the JETCO workplan * assess the linkages between ASEAN Member States' policies and the benefits those Member States derive from those policies Scope of the study covers: 1. Labelling regulations in Thailand and 5 ASEAN countries (70%) 2. Excise tax system in Thailand and 5 ASEAN countries (30%) This study should cover the comparison of Thailand and other 5 ASEAN countries as well as identify relevant benefits associated to their alcohol regulations and short and long term suggestions to Thailand regarding the alcohol regulatory regime to increase the overall economic benefit to both private and government sector. Submission of proposals should be as per the instructions in the attached RFP document ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/36fe4982-67ac-4740-858d-a5c1420ba120 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 26 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Nov 2022 - 20 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73220000 - Development consultancy services - 79310000 - Market research services ## Release History - 12 Oct 2022 at 10:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/36fe4982-67ac-4740-858d-a5c1420ba120 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/36fe4982-67ac-4740-858d-a5c1420ba120 12th October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/76e72465-b392-4144-a9b4-10a31eaa61cd Details the requirement and how to submit a proposal - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7107bc2a-74de-4087-83f2-a17afa654495 Template for completing and submitting pricing detail ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
