Notice Title
Public Finance Resource Centre (PFRC)
Notice Description
FCDO pursues our national interests and projects the UK as a force for good in the world. We promote the interests of British citizens, safeguard the UK's security, defend our values, reduce poverty and tackle global challenges with our international partners. Against a backdrop of continued slow growth, capital market uncertainty, and worsening debt positions for many developing countries, the International Finance Division's (IFD) objective is to support countries on the path to sustainable financing; breaking the cycles of unsustainable debt and need for debt relief and developing green and resilient capital markets. We will do this by supporting countries to improve revenue mobilisation and strengthening responsible private sector and international financing. We also seek a step change in the way public finances are transparently managed and accounted for - from debt management to expenditure and procurement, through to greater financial preparedness for major disasters. In support of this objective the Public Finance and Tax Department (PFTD) within IFD is establishing a UK Centre of Expertise for Public Finance to help partner countries access technical expertise as part of HMG's broader offer to developing countries. The Centre will provide access to world class peer-to-peer support, such as from HMRC, frontier learning from globally recognised UK institutions, and from local suppliers. A new advisory offer, the Public Finance Resource Centre (PFRC) has been developed as part of this Centre of Expertise. The Resource Centre is intended to mobilise flexible technical assistance more quickly than is currently available, responding to clear demand for such support from partner countries. FCDO were seeking to procure a service provider to manage the delivery arm of the new Public Finance Resource Centre (PFRC). The Resource Centre will support countries to become self-sufficient - shaping open and resilient economies and societies. It will do this by responding quickly and flexibly to windows of opportunity, identified by FCDO, to address key barriers to revenue mobilisation, transparent Public Financial Management (PFM), tax, macro-fiscal and debt management, where current delivery models struggle to respond in a timely way.
