Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is currently in the planning stage for the Global Mine Action Programme 4 (GMAP4), designed to address landmine threats and other explosive remnants of war. This programme targets multiple countries including Afghanistan, Cambodia, Laos, Lebanon, Palestine (Gaza), Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe, with possible extensions to Somalia and Myanmar. The planning update dated 17th June 2026 outlines an early market engagement (EME) event scheduled for 16th July 2026. This virtual event, taking place from 10:00 to 11:30 AM BST, aims to introduce GMAP4, solicit feedback, and encourage participation. Business users must register for this event by 10th July 2026.

GMAP4 creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in foreign economic-aid-related services, especially in land surveys, clearance operations, and explosive ordnance risk education (EORE). The programme emphasises capacity development and partnerships with local operators, providing diverse avenues for business growth in the aid and development sector. Companies with expertise in collaboration with national mine action authorities or those capable of delivering services through grants or contracts can thrive in this environment. The procurement process encourages participation from a range of companies ready to influence and co-develop solutions under GMAP4's objectives, fostering a collaborative approach to international development challenges.
