Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is currently in the planning stage for the Public Finance Resource Centre (PFRC) initiative, which focuses on foreign economic-aid-related services aimed at improving tax and public finance in developing countries. An Early Market Engagement (EME) event is scheduled for Monday, 13th June 2022, from 13:00 to 15:00 UK Time, where interested parties are encouraged to register. This initiative will involve technical assistance for partner country governments and regional organisations, and the project's future notice date is set for 1st September 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in economic consultancy, public finance, and technical assistance services. Firms specialising in tax management, policy analysis, and capacity building for government agencies would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts arising from this programme. By engaging in the forthcoming tender process, businesses can leverage their expertise to contribute to the successful delivery of the PFRC and expand their market presence in the public sector.

Notice Title

Public Finance Resource Centre (PFRC)

Notice Description

The Resource Centre will be a flexible, demand-led facility offering technical assistance to: * Partner country governments * FCDO Posts (in the form of scoping studies and political economy analysis) * Regional organisations specialising in tax and public financial management The Resource Centre will offer technical assistance either on a short (less than 6 months), medium (6 to 12 months) or long-term basis (over 12 months) and may offer multi-year interventions (which are similar to traditional bilateral programmes).
