Department for International Trade written question – answered at on 16 January 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to contract notice 2016/5 166-299652, for what reasons his Department decided to tender for event specialists; and whether his Department considered using trade associations to deliver any of those events.
The Department for International Trade (DIT) is committed to opening up its contract opportunities to suppliers to ensure economies of scale, global reach, professionalism and operational efficiencies. DIT therefore outsources all event delivery (in which around 400 will be delivered globally in 2016-17). DIT’s incumbent supplier’s contract will end in 2017.
