Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for International Development (DFID) is currently conducting a tendering process for the "DFID 8126 General Economic Development Framework," aimed at establishing a framework agreement that other government departments can utilise. This opportunity falls under the industry category of foreign economic-aid-related services, with an estimated total value of £400 million. The tender period will close on 7th December 2017, while the framework is expected to commence in June 2018 and remain active for an initial two-year term, potentially extendable by a further two 12-month periods based on ongoing requirements. The procurement method employed is a selective process, specifically a restricted procedure above the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on technical services related to economic development and poverty reduction. Companies that specialise in providing innovative solutions to enhance economic growth, particularly those committed to creating jobs and opportunities for underrepresented groups such as women, girls, and youth, would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate in this process, aligning their capabilities with DFID's objectives to maintain high standards of international development practice.
