Sheffield Export Support Programme

What the buyer is asking for

Sheffield City Council is looking to appoint an organisation with strong export and international trade expertise to deliver a programme of specialist business support and advice to SMEs in Sheffield. The programme will primarily support two groups of businesses: • New and aspiring exporters that have the potential to trade internationally but need support to prepare for and take their first steps into exporting. • Existing exporters seeking to enter a new international market, where specialist advice and support is required to understand the opportunity, overcome barriers and successfully enter that market.
