What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is considering the procurement of a supplier or a consortium to design, manage and deliver an Agri-tech Export Accelerator Programme. The programme will support high-growth-potential UK agri-tech businesses to build sustainable export capability and progress international growth opportunities.
The anticipated requirement is a three-year programme covering six agri-tech subsector cohorts. Services may include:
1. Participant marketing, recruitment and cohort management
• Market and promote the programme through appropriate platforms and networks, with clear application information and deadlines.
• Identify, assess and select participating businesses.
• Manage cohorts, participant engagement, stakeholder coordination and communications.
2. Market intelligence and export strategy
• Identify priority international markets.
• Undertake market research and opportunity assessments.
• Develop practical export and market-entry strategies.
3. Curated capability-development pathway
• Design a logical learning pathway that supports the programme objectives.
• Undertake export-readiness assessments.
• Deliver workshops, training sessions, webinars, peer-learning activities and mentoring.
• Provide and manage mentors, specialist advisers and delivery partners.
4. Commercial and trade development activity
• Provide buyer introductions and networking opportunities.
• Identify, secure and manage relationships with investors, distributors and delivery partners to accelerate international growth opportunities.
• Plan commercial activation activity, with a current working assumption of one trade mission after capability-building activity for each cohort. The final approach may evolve as learning is incorporated during the programme.
5. Programme management, monitoring and evaluation
• Provide programme governance, delivery planning and reporting.
• Manage risks, issues and finances.
• Monitor and evaluate outputs, outcomes, impact and continuous improvement.
