The Department of International Trade (DIT) has appointed Informed Solutions as its investment support development partner.
The agreement – set to run for two and a half years with a value of around £2 million – will involve the company supporting the digital delivery of new trade and investment projects and the ongoing digital transformation of existing support and trade and investment services.
This will include building new end-to-end digital services for internal and public facing processes.
Informed Solutions will also work with DIT and its digital, data, and technology (DDaT) team to identify skills and technology gaps, transfer knowledge to in-house teams and help build capacity to support emerging skills for future development.
