Description

The Department for Business and Trade ("DBT") has a potential requirement for the provision of data on Global Trading activity.

The Secretary of State for DBT is the contracting authority responsible for meeting this anticipated requirement. DBT intends to publish the Contract Notice late August 2024. The full specification will be provided with the contract documents when we go out to tender, but the procurement is expected to incorporate the following:

A comprehensive suite of trade statistics, covering worldwide activity and disaggregated by HS code. The data must cover sectors and countries and be easily accessible via online platform. The suit must provide up-to-date, timely, accurate data. DBT require API integration with internal data architecture, in order to conduct data visualisation/analysis for internal purposes.

At this stage, DBT wants to understand the view of the market in terms of its approach to this requirement, key considerations, and costings. Information that it gathers will be used to refine requirements to ensure they are fit for suppliers to deliver against.
