Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is leading a procurement process titled "TA Support to Renewing the UK's Energy Transition Programme in Indonesia (MENTARI 2)." This process is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on foreign economic-aid-related services.
