## Summary

The Department for International Trade has completed the procurement process for an "Impact Evaluation of DBT Export Promotion Activities." This tender falls under the economic research services category and is valued at £120,000. The award was made using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The project's key dates include the tender period ending on 11th November 2024, the contract commencing on 16th December 2024, and concluding on 15th April 2026. The services will be delivered internationally, encompassing regions such as the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specializing in economic research and consultancy. By participating in such high-impact evaluation studies, businesses can expand their expertise, enhance their portfolio, and establish a strong presence in international markets. Frontier Economics, a large enterprise, has already been awarded this contract, demonstrating that both large-scale and smaller entities could effectively compete and potentially partner in future similar procurements.

## Notice

The requirement builds on a previously commissioned and published study on the impact of DBT support. Due to a change in DBT's delivery model, the inception of new services could have altered firms' patterns of usage and how they are accessed (e.g. digital vs. face-to-face) therefore to understand the effectiveness and particular types of DBT support, we need to consider the impact of the new system of support as a whole.
