Details

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.
