Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is managing a significant contract titled "Verification and Technical Assurance Programme - Ukraine (VERITAS-UKR)" aimed at enhancing accountability and transparency within its ODA portfolio in Ukraine. The project involves providing independent Third-Party Monitoring services and research analysis through various workstreams, piloting a CSO-led model. Integrity Global Ltd has been awarded the contract valued at £15 million under an open procurement procedure. Located in East Kilbride, the FCDO's operations are central government-based, and the contract, initially active from 28 November 2025, anticipates completion by 31 December 2029, with a potential extension up to 31 December 2031 contingent on the supplier's performance. Opportunities exist for additional TPM and evidence activities, supporting policy and programmatic decision-making in foreign economic-aid-related services in Ukraine.

The tender offers considerable potential for businesses specialising in services related to foreign economic aid and monitoring. With an award procedure focused on quality and commercial assessment, large-scale suppliers with expertise in these areas are particularly well-suited to contribute to the project's goals. Companies capable of adapting to demand-led monitoring structures have the opportunity for scaling up, as the project may develop further based on initial success. Participation in such projects can enhance a company's portfolio within the public service landscape and encourage cross-border partnerships, evident from the involvement of large international tenderers. Suppliers must demonstrate robust technical and economic capabilities as outlined in tender documentation, and ensure compliance with the electronic submission policies via the FCDO eSourcing portal.
