Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) is currently engaging in a procurement process for a Service Delivery Manager for the Global Trade Programme, with the tender title highlighting its focus on improving trade conditions internationally. This initiative, a significant component of the cross-government Prosperity Fund, aims to enhance the business environment in multiple countries, particularly in South East Asia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria, Turkey, and South Africa. The tender, classified under business and management consultancy services, has a budget of £50 million, with a deadline for submissions set for 18 June 2018. The contract period is expected to commence on 3 December 2018 and run until 30 November 2021.

This tender presents a considerable opportunity for businesses specialising in economic research, advisory services, management, and project supervision. Given the specific requirement for services that facilitate trade-related capacity building in partner countries, companies with expertise in international trade, consultancy, and project management would be particularly well-suited to compete. Such organisations may not only contribute to significant development reforms but also gain valuable engagement and potentially lucrative contracts through the FCO's initiative aimed at reducing barriers to global trade.
