UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) in London has set out plans for the Sudan Stability Programme (SSP), with a focus on services in the field of foreign economic-aid-related services. The programme is currently in the planning stage, with several updates made, and is likely to commence in the autumn following future internal approvals. The SSP aims to continue the UK’s efforts in conflict resolution and societal protection in Sudan, targeting increased participation from grassroots civil society and governance institutions. The procurement process will engage delivery partners or consortia capable of leading this initiative, presently informed by a scheduled Preliminary Market Engagement session on 25th March 2026. The SSP, valued at approximately £30 million over five years, with annual increments of £6 million, is poised to start during the fiscal year of 2027, details for which will be updated through the Jaggaer e-procurement system.

This upcoming procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in international development, conflict resolution, and social governance, particularly those with experience in high-risk environments with limited accessibility. Companies adept in managing complex projects involving civil society engagement, misinformation counteraction, and local governance strengthening are urged to explore this opportunity. While this initiative is not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs to lead, there remains potential for collaborative involvement through consortia and partnership arrangements. Businesses are encouraged to actively participate in the market engagement session to better understand the programme requirements and contribute feedback to shape the forthcoming tender approach.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Sudan Stability Programme (SSP)

Notice Description

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) are exploring the option to procure a delivery partner/consortium who can lead our work on civil society and protection of civilians in Sudan for The Sudan Stability Programme (SSP). The SSP is a new programme following on from the Sudan Stability and Growth Programme (SSGP), which aims to continue and deepen the UK's conflict resolution and mitigation work previously delivered. With no permanent UK presence in Sudan and a rapidly evolving conflict environment, the SSP will support local civil society, strengthen civilian protection, and reinforce national and regional diplomatic efforts. Building the conditions for a national-level dialogue with engagement from civil actors. The SSP's key objectives are to: * Support grassroots civil society groups and local conflict management as means to promote social cohesion and mitigate protection risks. * Strengthening local governance institutions and promoting inclusivity, particularly considering women and other marginalised groups. * Countering misinformation, disinformation and hate speech * Producing continual conflict and political analysis that informs programmatic interventions and a broader Thinking and Working Politically approach that supports diplomatic efforts. The SSP is expected to have an overall value of up to PS39 million over five years, with this specific contractual component expected to receive approximately PS30 million (PS6 million annually). Subject to internal approval and funding confirmation, programme delivery is expected to begin in FY 2027.
