Global development projects offer opportunities for your company to win contracts funded by international aid agencies and create sustainable assets in developing countries. Global organisations spend $60 billion every year on aid funded projects.
We can help Scottish companies access these opportunities through the UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) Aid Funded Business service.
How your company can benefit
Aid agency funded business is about win-win. Scottish companies gain valuable contracts, the aid agency funds a sound project and developing countries gain sustainable assets.
Key benefits
- Variety of opportunity – there seems to be few items the agencies do not require at one time or another
- Orders always backed by funds – aid agencies cannot place orders unless funds are available so as long as contract terms are met, payment is rarely a problem
- English is the working language
- Order size is suitable for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) – supply contracts can start at as little as $10,000, rising to tens of millions of dollars for major infrastructure projects, the average supply contract with the UN agencies is $20,000
Organisations such as the United Nations and World Bank fund projects that cover a wide range of sectors and services.
Global development projects offer companies like yours excellent opportunities but it is important to be prepared and have the right contacts in place.
We can help you ensure your company is prepared to get involved with aid agency funded business opportunities.
