## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is conducting an open procurement process for the tender titled "Build capacity (and maintain strong relationships with) key Energy Regulators." This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of Mexico’s energy sector through capacity building for energy regulators. The tender is currently active, with a deadline for submissions set for 2nd November 2017. The overall value of the project is £200,000 and will be based in London, with the contract period expected to commence on 18th December 2017 and continue until 30th March 2018. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on consultancy and research related to energy regulation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in consultancy, research, and energy sectors, particularly those with expertise in policy enforcement and financial mechanisms. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage in this process, as their capabilities can contribute to achieving the objectives of the Prosperity Fund activity in Mexico. By participating, successful bidders will not only foster the development of Mexico’s energy market but also expand their own operational footprint internationally.

## Notice

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), seeks to appoint one or more Service Suppliers for the implementation of Prosperity Fund activity in Mexico entitled "Build capacity of (and maintain strong relationships with) key Energy Regulators". The Service Supplier(s) will conduct an implementation strategy that will deliver clear, robust and evidenced recommendations on the reform and liberalisation of Mexico's energy sector in order to increase the its efficiency, sustainability and sophistication. The implementation of this strategy will also identify potential commercial opportunities and areas for UK private sector engagement. The Prosperity Fund Programme Team in the British Embassy in Mexico City wishes to secure the services of experts to deliver capacity building to key energy regulators. This tender process looks to work closely with Mexican energy regulators to deliver financial and policy mechanisms that will support the implementation of key elements of the energy reform. We expect that the delivery of the strategy will increase the capacity of regulators and thus help to ensure the correct functioning of the Mexican energy market through the delivery of two main objectives: a) Policy and financial mechanisms to aid implementation of key elements of the energy reform; b) Increased capacity within regulatory institutions to ensure adequate enforcement of energy regulation.
