## Summary

The UK Viability Gap Fund tender, conducted by the Department for International Trade, is focused on providing consultancy services related to the assessment of UK capabilities in sectors deemed "commercially non-viable." This tender falls under the business and management consultancy industry category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process, which has concluded with an award on 14th June 2019, utilised a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 17th June 2019 to 22nd July 2019, with the tender period having ended on 10th June 2019. The total value of the contract is £96,000.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in expanding their business in consultancy roles within government sectors. Companies that have expertise in market analysis and strategic consultancy services will find this procurement particularly relevant, as it aims to enhance the capacity of UK contractors in various ODA-eligible markets. Engaging with this tender allows businesses to contribute to assessments that could shape future commercial strategies, particularly in sectors facing viability challenges.

## Notice

DIT is seeking to build on existing analysis to determine what the UK capability (both as prime contractor and supply chain) is in "commercially non-viable" sectors within selected ODA-eligible markets (circa 30, exact list tbc). This requirement will involve an assessment of the market share of UK exports in the sectors outlined in the ITFC.
