<p>Quintessentially won a competitive tender in 2016 which was carried out by UK Shared
Business Services, who at the time managed UK Trade and Investment’s (UKTI) procurement
activity. UKTI was a joint, non-ministerial Government Department reporting to the
Secretaries of State for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The services of the contract with Quintessentially
include support to the GREAT Investors Programme through the provision of advice,
logistical support and background checks, via a sub-contract to support individual
investor visits to the UK. The contract was awarded by UK Shared Business Services
in May 2016, prior to the formation of the Department for International Trade (DIT).
DIT took ownership of UKTI’s contracts on formation.</p>
