Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has completed a tender process for "Commercial advice and additional services" within the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and support. This procurement, initiated under a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, has a total contract value of £1,300,000, with a minimum value of £433,000. The contract, originally set to begin on 18 March 2019 and run for two years until 17 March 2021, was awarded on 17 March 2019, with the tender period closing on 15 March 2019. Potential service providers needed to respond before this deadline to be considered.

This opportunity can significantly benefit businesses specialising in IT consulting and support services, particularly those with the experience and capacity to enhance the capabilities of existing commercial teams. Given that the Foreign & Commonwealth Office is an established buyer within the government, firms including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that focus on similar services are well-positioned to seek contracts of this nature for growth. Additionally, companies that can demonstrate a capacity to deliver knowledge-driven solutions may find this a particularly fruitful avenue for expansion.
