Description of the contract
In its new strategy, UKTI announced that it would be providing extra support for the Retail Sector through Sectors Group in UKTI. Sectors Group exists to provide strategic support for key sectors in the UK economy and provides help for them to internationalise. The retail sector is primarily supported tactically by regional teams and overseas colleagues in UKTI. The new UKTI strategy outlines a plan for working out what industry wants from UKTI at a strategic level and then put it into practice, with a more comprehensive plan to follow in the next financial year. UKTI is looking for a partner with close involvement in the retail industry to help deliver this support and work with it in any plans going forward. The winning bidders will be expected to provide support for disseminating information about UKTI, its services, staff and in market opportunities amongst the retailing sector in the UK as well as provide general support and advice to the retail sector team. The work is divided between domestic and international work. Bidders can bid for either or both of the activities. In the UK, UKTI is looking for partners to organise an Retail Industry roundtable event, a Retail education programme for our overseas staff, and organising UK companies to receive an inward mission for key influential foreign retail delegates in the UK. Outside of the UK, UKTI is looking for Retail Industry partners to organise, recruit and run a trade mission to a foreign country. This will involve taking 15+ UK companies to that country and working with our international teams to provide a programme of activity that will assist those countries in learning more and making inroads into establishing themselves in that market.
