## Summary

The Scottish Government has initiated a planned procurement process titled "USA Export Plan" in the services category. The procurement is at the planning stage, aiming to create specific country-focused plans at a sub-national level in the USA. The opportunity involves a contract valued at 75,000 GBP with potential extensions and is scheduled for future communication on June 3, 2024. The procurement aims to boost exports from Scottish-based companies to the USA, aligning with the objective of growing Scottish exports as part of the broader economic transformation strategy.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses interested in export-focused consultancy services targeting the USA market. Companies with expertise in trade policy, market intelligence, and export strategy development are well-suited to compete. The initiative not only aims to support Scottish exporters but also seeks to inform broader trade policy priorities. Interested parties are encouraged to register their interest for bidding on this lucrative opportunity to contribute to Scotland's export growth strategy and economic development.

## 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. We now want to build upon the high level work carried out in A Trading Nation and provide specific country focussed plans on a sub- national level in the USA to assist the Scottish Government and its agencies better focus their limited resources to achieve better results for our exporters.

### 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.. The contract is anticipated to run for a period of 4 months with the option to extend for 2 months, at the sole discretion of Scottish Ministers. Please advise if you are interested in bidding for this opportunity by registering interest on this notice.
