## Summary

The Department for Business and Trade has completed the procurement process for the "Economic Integration Programme - ASEAN Sectoral Plan." The contract, awarded to The British Standards Institution (BSI), involves the design of a sectoral plan to support activity in the ASEAN region. This initiative falls under the industry category of "Technical control services" and took place within the United Kingdom, as per the classification scheme CPV 71356100. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the BSI’s unique technical capabilities and alignment with UK Government interests. The contract, valued at £187,000, was signed on 27th September 2024.

Companies specialising in technical control services, specifically those with the capability to design comprehensive sectoral plans, would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. The strategic importance of the project supporting the ASEAN region underscores the prospects for growth in international markets, especially for firms capable of offering specialised services that meet high technical and regulatory standards.
