## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a tender process titled "USA Export Plan," falling under the industry category of Business and Management Consultancy and related services. This procurement is in the active tender stage, with a tender period concluding on 3rd July 2024 at 12:00 PM BST. The contract aims to enhance Scotland's export strategy to the USA by identifying the US states that best match Scottish export strengths, as part of the broader "A Trading Nation" and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the contracting authority located in Glasgow, Scotland. The total estimated value of the contract is £75,000, with a contract period of four months, and an optional extension of up to two additional months.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in export strategy, business analysis, and financial consultancy to contribute significantly to Scotland's export growth objectives. Businesses adept in understanding market trends, developing strategic export plans, and fostering international trade relations would find this contract highly suitable. Moreover, firms focusing on community benefits, such as supporting employment, diversity initiatives, and educational support, in alignment with the Scottish Government’s social, economic, and environmental objectives, are well-positioned to compete effectively for this opportunity.

## Notice

The Scottish Government published a Trading Nation: A plan for Growing Scottish exports on 1 May 2019. The plan aims to increase the value of exports from 20% to 25% of Scotland's GDP over the next 10 years. This could add around 3.5 billion GBP to GDP and create 17,500 more jobs. A Trading Nation was developed using data driven analysis and market intelligence to identify the priority sectors, markets and types of businesses that are most likely to drive growth in exports. The end goal of the USA Export Plan is to produce an export focused report that seeks to identify the US states that offer the best match and opportunity for Scottish export strengths and our ambitions as set out in A Trading Nation and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The export plan will help us better understand the longer term trends within these huge markets and focus our resources to better drive export success in these continental sized economies. Whilst broader in-market commercial opportunities should be understood the main thrust of this plan is to boost exports from Scottish based companies to the USA, and to understand the best ways for the Scottish Government and its agencies to facilitate this outcome. Information gleaned from this study could also help inform the Scottish Government's broader trade policy priorities within the UK-led state level MoU programme, and should the UK-USA free trade negotiations restart. The end goal of the USA Export Plan is to produce an export focused report that seeks to identify the US states that offer the best match and opportunity for Scottish export strengths and our ambitions as set out in A Trading Nation and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.

Renewal: Initial duration will be 4 months with an option to extend the contract for an additional 2 months.
