## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has initiated a procurement process titled "Procurement Legislation Compliance in Colombia - Capacity Building and Training." This is classified under development consultancy services and is focussed on enhancing the public procurement capacity of Internal Control Units in Colombia. The contract is valued at £200,000 and follows an open procurement method, designed above the threshold. The tender period ended on 11th October 2021, with the contract expected to commence on 22nd October 2021 and conclude by 31st March 2022. This process is located in Colombia, with training activities to be delivered in Spanish to align with local regulatory frameworks.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in development consulting and legal advisory services, particularly those familiar with public procurement in Colombia. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, especially those with expertise in gender inclusion initiatives and training methodologies. Participating in this tender could lead to enhanced visibility and the chance to contribute to the Colombian government's efforts in modernising public procurement processes.
