The British Embassy Seoul is conducting a tender titled "Republic of Korea Approach to Digital Technical Standards". This procurement falls under the business services category, specifically relating to law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with the submission deadline set for 30 January 2022. The contract period is expected to commence shortly after on 7 February 2022 and will run until 31 March 2022. The procurement method used is limited, specifically a competitive quotation below the threshold, and it covers delivery across various regions including the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in consultancy and research services, particularly those with expertise in digital technical standards. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, allowing them to engage with the British Embassy’s initiatives in South Korea.

## Notice

BE Seoul is commissioning research to examine how the government of the Republic of Korea (ROK) approaches and carries out policy on digital technical standards, and how it perceives the role of digital technical standards in its domestic and foreign policy ambitions. The research should also examine the role of ROK tech companies, such as Samsung Electronics and LG, in developing digital technical standards, including whether and how they work with the ROK government, and how they operate in Standards Developing Organisations (SDOs).
