What is being bought

The Scottish Government published a Trading Nation: A plan for Growing Scottish exports on 1 May 2019. The plan aims to increase the value of exports from 20% to 25% of Scotland’s GDP over the next 10 years. This could add around 3.5 billion GBP to GDP and create 17,500 more jobs. A Trading Nation was developed using data driven analysis and market intelligence to identify the priority sectors, markets and types of businesses that are most likely to drive growth in exports. The end goal of the USA Export Plan is to produce an export focused report that seeks to identify the US states that offer the best match and opportunity for Scottish export strengths and our ambitions as set out in A Trading Nation and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.

Lot details

Lot 1

The export plan will help us better understand the longer term trends within these huge markets and focus our resources to better drive export success in these continental sized economies. Whilst broader in-market commercial opportunities should be understood the main thrust of this plan is to boost exports from Scottish based companies to the USA, and to understand the best ways for the Scottish Government and its agencies to facilitate this outcome. Information gleaned from this study could also help inform the Scottish Government’s broader trade policy priorities within the UK-led state level MoU programme, and should the UK-USA free trade negotiations restart. The end goal of the USA Export Plan is to produce an export focused report that seeks to identify the US states that offer the best match and opportunity for Scottish export strengths and our ambitions as set out in A Trading Nation and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 66. The category anchor is Financial consultancy services (66171000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 662,7583 median · 17.2 average (1,185 of 2,758 with a bid count)2.5 average (1,317 of 2,758 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Information gleaned from this study could also help inform the Scottish Government’s broader trade policy priorities within the UK-led state level MoU programme, and should the UK-USA free trade negotiations restart.\nThe end goal of the USA Export Plan is to produce an export focused report that seeks to identify the US states that offer the best match and opportunity for Scottish export strengths and our ambitions as set out in A Trading Nation and the National Strategy for Economic Transformation.",
