Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), based in London, England, is engaged in the procurement process for the ISF Cyber: Advanced Balkan Cyber Programme, comprising two lots. The procurement falls within the industry category of IT services, including consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement follows a selective method through a dynamic purchasing system. The contracting process has reached the award stage, with contracts having been awarded as of 13th May 2025. These services are set to be delivered from London, with the contract period extending until 31st March 2028. The tender is deemed suitable for SMEs, but not VCSEs.

The Advanced Balkan Cyber Programme offers ample opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs in the IT services sector.

The procurement approach allows for selective participation, potentially offering a strategic advantage for businesses with robust expertise and a dynamic approach. Businesses operating within or capable of reaching the London region could compete effectively to deliver these services as outlined in the awarded contracts. The programme’s extended duration provides a stable framework for sustained business development over the years.
