Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process under review involves the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for the "Open Trade Pillar of the ASEAN-UK Economic Development and Trade." This contract is classified under the CPV code 75211200, which pertains to foreign economic-aid-related services and is located in East Kilbride, Scotland, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award stage being completed on 23rd June 2025. The contract spans from 23rd June 2025 to 22nd March 2029, with an awarded value of £8,000,000. The procurement process has been deemed suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in foreign economic-aid-related services. Given the contract's substantial value and four-year duration, it offers a stable revenue stream for the awarded supplier, Cadmus International UK Limited, and potential involvement in future related contracts. The process favoured organisations that are SMEs and VCSEs, indicating a substantial opportunity for smaller entities with innovative solutions and capabilities to establish a foothold in international trade development projects. Companies with a focus on economic integration and trade services within the ASEAN region should consider positioning themselves for similar procurement opportunities in this space.
