EOI for ITC Project
The International Trade Centre (ITC), a joint UN-WTO agency engaged in trade-related technical assistance, starts 30-month, 2-million USD project to promote and market Bangladesh as the next offshore outsourcing destination. This project is funded by the Dutch government (through CBI) and we have selected the UK, the Netherlands and Denmark as the target markets for our marketing and match-making operations.
The project puts a strong emphasis on business matching between EU SMEs in the IT & ITES business and their Bangladeshi counterparts. To that end, 40 Bangladeshi ITO/BPO companies, already exporting, will be selected in the framework of the project.
Applicants to the present Expression of Interests will be assessed by the project business-linkaging experts. Selected companies will benefit from the following support activities:
Vendor profiles will be established in coordination with experts and partner trade support organizations
Business-linkaging experts from Denmark, Netherlands and UK will visit Bangladesh at least once a year to gain an in-depth knowledge of the companies
Vendor events will be organized yearly in the EU
Study tours will be organized during Softexpo 2011, 2012 and 2013 to facilitate the match-making between the selected companies and potential European clients
In addition, the project will build the capacities of BASIS and DCCI to identify, target and enter EU markets for outsourcing services. Furthermore, the project will build capacities of both organizations to contribute to the improvement of Bangladesh?s country branding as a global sourcing destination.
In order to ensure a successful delivery of the project, the emphasis will be on closely identifying the target-markets trends and needs, by:
Engaging Business-linkaging experts and partner TSIs in Denmark, Netherlands and UK
Undertaking yearly demand-side studies (Target Market Overview looking at relevant segments and Marketing Plan)
Reviewing the country selection in mid-2011 and mid-2012 in the framework of the PCG
Identifying key segments, with business-linkaging undertaken throughout the year, not only during events
Backing up the business-linkaging with PR activities and mobilization of analysts (AT Kearney, McKinsey, Everest Research?)
ITC will assess the applications by grading each item below on a scale of 0 to 3. 0 means "does not meet criterion", 1 means "partly meets criterion", 2 means "adequately meets criterion", 3 means "perfectly meets criterion". Knock-out criteria (mentioned in the related item headings), if not met, mean that the company cannot qualify for the selection, whatever results elsewhere. ITC, however, will reconsider these criteria in light of the applications numbers and quality. The resulting selection will be submitted to BASIS and DCCI for review. The resulting selection will be used until December 2011, when it will be reviewed in light of its relevance.
