This contract, valued at £50,000, falls under the services category, specifically within research and development services and related consultancy services. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with documents published on 9th November 2018. The deadline for submission is set for 26th November 2018, and the contract is expected to commence on 10th December 2018, running until 29th March 2019. The delivery addresses include the United Kingdom and other British territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in market research and evaluation frameworks. Businesses that excel in developing robust monitoring and evaluation systems or have experience working on investment promotion activities will be well-positioned to submit competitive bids. Engaging in this contract allows businesses to contribute to DIT’s efforts in optimising investment strategies, enhancing their visibility in the public sector, and potentially securing future contracts in public procurement. ## Notice The Department for International Trade (DIT) aims to improve and refresh its monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for the range of Investment Promotion programmes, activities, policy advocacy and services that it supports investors with. Through this, DIT aims to make decisions on which type of investments to support and following on from this, how much resource to direct towards these investment projects on the basis of the value it will create in the UK economy. Thus, DIT would like to identify "doing the right thing", in addition to "doing the thing right" in the investment space. As a prerequisite for this, DIT requires a scoping study to assess potential frameworks for evaluation of DIT's current operating model and strategies. The Invitation to Tender has been published on DIT's e-procurement portal, ProContract.
