## Summary

The Department for International Trade has completed the procurement process for the "Trade Tariff and Quotas Alpha" project, which falls under the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contract, valued at £1,627,850, was awarded to Engine Partners UK LLP on 15 March 2018 and has a contract period from 1 April 2018 to 5 April 2019. The contract pertains to an initiative to develop a service for managing UK trade regulations and related data. The opportunity for businesses to participate in this tender was open until 31 January 2018.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth in the IT services sector, particularly for companies specialising in software development and systems integration. Businesses with capabilities in data management, trade policy consulting, and regulatory compliance would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts. As this project involves collaboration with government departments, organisations possessing experience in public sector contracts and the ability to navigate governmental frameworks would also find an advantage in this market.
