International Market Entry

Explore UK public procurement to identify opportunities for global businesses entering a complex market.

For companies around the world looking to break into the UK public sector, Nexus Procurement Solutions provides comprehensive International Market Entry support to pave the way for your success. The UK public procurement environment can be complex and markedly different from other countries – with its own regulations, tender portals, and buyer expectations. Our International Market Entry service demystifies this landscape. We help you understand how UK government agencies buy goods and services, what opportunities fit your business, and how to position your offerings to meet local needs. Nexus serves as your guide and advocate, making the unfamiliar familiar. We’ll equip you with the insights and strategy needed to confidently enter the market and start pursuing government contracts.

What does this involve? We take a holistic approach, beginning with in-depth market research and orientation specific to your business. Nexus will identify which public sector opportunities and frameworks (such as relevant Crown Commercial Service frameworks or Dynamic Markets) align with your products or services. We advise on necessary steps like registering on UK procurement portals and obtaining any recommended certifications (for example, Cyber Essentials or ISO standards) that boost your credibility. Crucially, we also help you adapt your value proposition to resonate with UK government priorities – whether it’s demonstrating social value, innovation, or compliance with environmental and ethical standards. Our goal is to shorten your learning curve and fast-track your entry into the UK public sector.

Your Gateway to UK Procurement

For an overseas firm, breaking into the UK public sector can feel like trying to hit a moving target. The market is attractive, but foreign companies often struggle with a lack of local insight: Who are the key government buyers for your solution? Which agencies or departments have budgets and interest in your area? What certifications or registrations do you need? Without on-the-ground knowledge and connections, you risk spending months (or years) navigating blind alleys — or worse, missing out on bids because you didn’t know they existed or how to qualify.

Our Solution

Our International Market Entry service provides a roadmap and hands-on guidance to launch your business in the UK public sector swiftly and strategically. We act as your local expert team, helping you:

Market Landscape Analysis: We research and pinpoint where your product or service fits into government priorities and programmes. You’ll understand which public sector segments (central government, local councils, NHS, etc.) have demand for what you offer.

Entry Strategy & Positioning: We develop a tailored strategy that defines your value proposition for UK government buyers. This includes advising on necessary adaptations – for example, meeting UK standards (security, accessibility, regulatory) or adjusting your messaging to address local policy goals.

Frameworks & Registration: Whether it’s G-Cloud, DOS (Digital Outcomes & Specialists), or other frameworks, we identify the right procurement channels and guide you through the sign up requirements. We also assist with essential registrations on UK tender portals and ensure you’re “tender-ready” with the correct accounts and documentation.

Partnerships and Introductions: Teaming up with established local partners can accelerate trust. We leverage our network to connect you with potential UK partners or resellers, and can recommend legal, accounting, or PR support as needed. This builds a support system for your market entry.

Pipeline Development: We help you proactively build a pipeline of upcoming opportunities. By monitoring Government procurement plans and future tenders in your domain, we make sure you don’t miss early visibility of contracts that fit your offering.

By combining strategic planning with practical support, we dramatically shorten your time-to-market
