Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to the Accelerating Investment and Infrastructure in Nepal (AIIN) programme, managed by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). This tender focuses on foreign economic-aid-related services and is located in the UK. The contracting authority aims to address critical infrastructure and economic policy needs in Nepal through three distinct components. Although the current stage is complete, notable deadlines include the extension of services to 31 March 2023, which was granted to accommodate disruptions caused by Covid-19. The procurement method employed for this process was limited, with an award procedure not requiring prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in infrastructure development, economic policy consulting, and financial sector stability within the context of foreign aid. Companies that can provide technical assistance to government agencies in Nepal or have expertise in economic reform and institutional strengthening are particularly well-suited to compete. As the FCDO looks for suppliers capable of implementing these vital components, businesses with experience in development-related services are likely to benefit from engaging in this procurement process.
