Description
The Trade Remedies Authority ("TRA") exists to defend the UK against unfair international trade practices. We investigate whether trade remedies are needed to prevent injury to UK industries caused by unfair trading practices or unforeseen import surges, and we make recommendations on appropriate measures to defend UK economic interests.
The Trade Remedies Authority is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Business and Trade.
The Department for Business and Trade ("DBT") has a potential requirement for the provision of Market and Product Data for Metal and Alloy Commodities (CPV Code 72319000 - Data Supply Services).
The Secretary of State for DBT is the contracting authority responsible for meeting this potential requirement.
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.
The full specification shall be provided with the contract documents and is expected to incorporate procuring market data and production data on specific metals to assist with TRA's investigations. The questionnaire at Annex A of this document will help TRA to refine its requirements.
Interested suppliers are required to populate the questionnaire and email to commercialddat@businessandtrade.gov.uk by 16th August 2024. Once the deadline has passed, DBT will review the submissions to assist with internal decision making. Additional supplier interaction may be necessary.
It should be noted that this is not a formal invitation to tender. DBT makes no commitment to procure these services and may decide to not progress this any further following engagement with the market. DBT reserves the right to change any information contained within the Request for Information documentation at any time, and potential Suppliers rely upon any information provided entirely at their own risk.
