Quick point: Faisal's Tweet makes it sound like @tradegovuk is going to spend 14bn flying Liam Fox around to explain negotiations to his counterparts. Obviously not the plan.

This will almost certainly be an Aid for Trade fund, delivered and managed day to day by consultants.
There are already multiple funds across the UK aid portfolio that work this way.

For example, the Trade Advocacy Fund 2 Plus is managed by AECOM for @DFID_UK and delivers a lot of trade related technical assistance.

Quick explanation of how it works is:

UK government sets aside a pool of money, and establishes a set of objectives for that money.

It then tenders for an external fund manager whose job it is to find or create good projects in line with the fund's objectives and rules.
These projects are completed by external providers and consultants, and evaluated by the fund manager and UK government.
