## Summary

The Department for Business & Trade procured an expert service in good regulatory practice to support delivery of the ASEAN–UK Economic Integration Programme. The work calls for technical expertise and support for national and international capacity building and delivery, drawing on experience working within and for central government. It is classified as a service, with research services as the associated work category. The contract is delivered in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Department used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the requirement was divided into one lot. Partners for Reform Ltd was selected and signed the contract on 22 September 2026. The contract value is £99,000 excluding VAT (£118,800 including VAT). The contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an optional three-month extension to 30 June 2028. The buyer must give the supplier at least 10 working days’ written notice before expiry to exercise the extension. The published information gives no separate scoring or evaluation basis for the award.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from the Department for Business & Trade, this award indicates demand for specialist good regulatory practice expertise supporting the ASEAN–UK Economic Integration Programme. A credible provider would need strong technical knowledge of good regulatory practice, experience working within and for UK government, and the ability to support both national and international capacity building and delivery. The requirement is suited to a consultancy or specialist research and advisory business able to work on an international economic integration programme, as well as engage with government delivery. Partners for Reform Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected for this requirement, demonstrating that a smaller specialist firm can meet the buyer’s needs.
