Notice Title

Projects Task Force Consultancy Support

Notice Description

Oliver Wyman has been appointed via CCS's MCF3 Framework by the FCDO to support with the following: The FCDO requires a contract with a Management Consultancy provider via MCF3 to work with the FCDO's in-house consulting team, the Projects Task Force (PTF), to provide expertise on a call on/off basis. Consultants will work alongside PTF staff to meet clearly defined project deliverables for organisationally critical projects. Their work will be allocated and overseen by a monthly Project Allocation Board (PAB) and will be explicitly linked to FCDO priorities (as approved personally by the Permanent Under Secretary - PUS). This consultancy requirement allows the PTF to access the variety of skills and external experience needed to meet the demand for high priority strategic projects across the FCDO. The FCDO will draw down form the contract as and well required, dependent on the pipeline of priorities agreed on a monthly basis by the Permanent Under Secretary. The arrangement will also include significant knowledge transfer, to be codified at the end of each individual project via in-house capability building sessions - to the benefit of wider FCDO teams and specifically the PTF.
