## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal, which is seeking an Engagement Specialist to support communications and engagement activities for a trader readiness programme. This initiative is vital for ensuring that traders are prepared for changes following the transition period impacting exports from Great Britain to Northern Ireland and Europe. The procurement method is selective, operating under a framework agreement, with a contract value of £46,950. The tender period concluded on 24th July 2020, while the contract commenced on 24th August 2020 and is set to expire on 31st December 2020. The contractual activities are classified under legal advisory and information services, with locations extending to British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and throughout the United Kingdom.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses engaged in providing advisory and support services, particularly those that specialise in communication and engagement strategies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be ideally positioned to compete for this contract, leveraging their agility and niche expertise to meet the needs defined by the Defra Network. Companies with experience in trader readiness campaigns or similar outreach projects will find this procurement particularly relevant to their capabilities.

## Notice

The exports programme has responsibility for ensuring traders (those who export goods) are ready for the changes at the end of the transition period. This includes traders who export goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland and Great Britain to Europe. As part of this trader readiness workstream there are several communications and engagement activities that need to be undertaken including a trader readiness campaign with the first phase starting in August/September. We require support to deliver these activities. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions.
