Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has successfully completed a procurement process for a project titled "Kenya: Portfolio Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL)". This initiative falls under the foreign economic-aid-related services category, primarily aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and accountability of FCDO programmes in Kenya. The procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Itad Ltd and carries a value of £3,449,783, although the total anticipated project value is £4,800,000. The contract starts on 1st September 2025 and concludes on 1st September 2028, with services expected to be rendered across various global locations, including the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in international development services. It is particularly suited for companies with an emphasis on monitoring and evaluation across geopolitical regions. Given the procurement method, potential suppliers require pre-existing arrangements under relevant framework agreements to compete. The selection of Itad Ltd, a large enterprise, suggests the tender favours experienced businesses that can provide comprehensive service coverage and robust assurance mechanisms. Furthermore, businesses categorised as SMEs are particularly encouraged, offering smaller enterprises a platform to expand and engage with international development initiatives spearheaded by the UK government.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Kenya: Portfolio Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (PMEL)

Notice Description

FCDO Kenya has a comprehensive Country Business Plan1, which outlines how the mission works towards six key goals. This pulls together programming, policy, diplomacy and influence work, as well as corporate, consulate and enabling functions. However, FCDO have limited tools to outline or measure results in many of these areas, or to pull together the aggregate effect across workstreams. The Portfolio Monitoring and Evaluation (PMEL) programme will provide an enabling function to FCDO Kenya, by providing assurance and evidence on what is working in FCDO programmes in Kenya and across all goals. This programme will ensure FCDO have more confidence in actions and assurance on value for money across the portfolio.
