The total requirement is for three waves of the International Traders and Investors Study (ITIS): Waves 6, 7 and 8. The committed contractual spend for this tender is for the first wave only, Wave 6. The Authority are under no obligation to commission Waves 7 and 8 of the survey, and the supplier must only commence work on Wave 7 or 8 once formally commissioned by the Authority.

The successful supplier will need to be available for several meetings with DIT throughout the contract that will take place in central London or online as determined by DIT. These meetings will be to discuss the progress of the project, any issues suppliers need to make DIT aware of and vice versa.

The supplier will have the capability to interview senior decision makers at international companies, their understanding of the regional differences in relation to the survey design and the choice of the methodology given the specific characteristics of the selected country. Further country options may also be selected by DIT, including but not limited to Colombia, Hong Kong, Italy, Kenya, Netherlands, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Spain.

1) Presentation to disseminate the findings

4) A full publication-ready technical report on the conduct of the survey
