Notice Description

Early Market Engagement (EME): This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) only for an Early Market Engagement (EME) for information to the market on FCDO's BSIP programme. The PIN which has been published is not a call for competition or tender at this time, it is an information notice to highlight to the market the intent to have a virtual EME event on Wednesday, 2nd February 2022 from 14:00 to 16:00 UK Time. Programme Objective: BSIP (formerly known as the Developing Markets Infrastructure Programme or DMIP) will support predominately low- / lower middle- income country governments to prepare, procure and finance high-quality, development-focussed sovereign-backed infrastructure projects.
