Notice Title

Early Market Engagement for UK-India Global Innovation Partnership (GIP) Programme

Notice Description

The Global Innovation Partnership (GIP) is a joint initiative by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), UK. The governing structure of GIP is derived from the two MoUs signed between India and the UK which may be seen here http://www.mea.gov.in/TreatyDetail.htm?3743 and http://www.mea.gov.in/TreatyDetail.htm?3850). Implementation of GIP is overseen by a Joint Steering Committee comprising members from both governments. GIP will foster, transfer and scale up demonstrated and sustainable, climate-smart innovations from India to third countries to promote and improve the economic development, accelerate the implementation of SDGs and primarily improve the lives and livelihoods of poor populations in the recipient countries. A focus of the programme will be on women, people with disabilities, and those with climate and health vulnerabilities. The programme will run for a period of 14 years between July 2022-June 2036. GIP builds on ex-DFID India's programme on innovation transfer (Global INVENT). The programme has 4 distinct components: Grants (PS10m), Investments (PS50m), Technical Assistance (TA - PS11.5m) and Impact Assessment (M&E - PS3.5m). The transfer of innovations will be done through two different components - Grants and Investments. The TA will be overarching and support the enterprises across Grants and Investments as well as facilitate the transfer by enabling /strengthening the ecosystem in the specific regions. The Impact Assessment component will provide continuous monitoring and evaluation for learning and adaptation. The Investment component will provide risk capital to support the transfer of private sector enterprises and will have a separate Investment Manager. The management of the investment component is outside the scope of this EME. The objective of the EME (Tuesday 18th October : 11:00 -13:00 BST / 15:30 -17:30 India Time) is to identify and engage with prospective suppliers to establish and manage the Grant component, TA component and the Impact Assessment Facility. Through this EME, commercial suppliers are being explored who can manage the TA and Grant components and if possible, the Impact Assessment Facility. We are open to considering a single supplier for both the TA and Grants components with the requisite experience, knowledge and skills to successfully deliver both under one contract, or two different suppliers. Owing to inherent conflict of interest the supplier bidding for TA and Grants shall not be able to bid for the Impact Assessment Facility and vice versa. Prospective suppliers are invited to complete the survey via EME Registration Form (https://bit.ly/3qWyAOi), which also can be used to send written questions to he FCDO. It will also be possible to ask questions at the event, however, receiving questions in advance will help FCDO to prepare the responses in advance. Further details concerning the event will be provided in due course. Additional information: At this stage, FCDO seeks expression of interest in participating in the EME event. Non-participation in this event will not be taken into account in any future procurement. The purpose of this notice is to explore the market, inform the specifications and help us to decide on the best procurement route and strategy.
