Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, located in London, has announced a contract extension for their project titled "Ukraine - Illicit Finance: Variation 001", under the procurement category of business and management consultancy services. This extension is for an additional three months, from April to June 2026, and includes a financial uplift of £1,250,000, with an active procurement stage involving contract and award updates. The project aims to improve Ukraine's ability to counter illicit finance through delivering policy changes, enhancements to financial supervision, and law enforcement improvements. This procurement process began as a mini-competition under the ISF Framework without prior publication, and the contract involves services delivery both in the United Kingdom and Ukraine.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in policy change, financial supervision, and law enforcement. The contract's extension and financial uplift reflect ongoing demand and opportunities for businesses that can deliver substantial service improvements. Companies with capacity for independent operations in Ukraine and strong resources and capabilities will be well-suited to compete. Large-scale consultancy firms like DAI Global (UK) Limited, which is already involved as a supplier, may find additional growth opportunities through participation in this extended service offering.
