## Summary

The Department for Business and Trade has awarded a contract to The British Standards Institution (BSI) for the development of an Economic Integration Programme focusing on the ASEAN Sectoral Plan. The procurement falls under the industry category of Technical Control Services and is cited under CPV code 71356100. The contract was concluded using a negotiated procedure without prior publication, as set out in Regulation 32(2)(b) of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, due to the unique technical positioning of BSI. The procurement stage is complete, with key dates spanning the contract period from 30 September 2024 to 30 May 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in technical control services, particularly those with expertise in economic integration and international standards. While the contract primarily benefits a larger entity like the BSI, it underscores the importance of specialised technical alignment and partnerships with governmental bodies. Businesses operating within the United Kingdom and looking to expand into ASEAN regions would find similar opportunities advantageous for growth, especially if they can leverage unique technical capabilities and international standing.

## Notice

The Department for Business and Trade has awarded a contract to The British Standards Institution for the design of a sectoral plan to support activity in the ASEAN region. The British Standards Institution (BSI) is the UK's National Standards Body, established by Royal Charter, and operating under a Memorandum of Understanding with UK Government to pursue shared public interests. A contract has been awarded in line with The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 under Regulation 32(2)(b) where competition is absent for technical reasons. No other economic operator has this technical positioning and alignment with UK Government, and the supplier is uniquely placed to undertake this activity in line with its national and international standing.
