## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has awarded the DFID 8126 General Economic Development Framework Contract, which will provide technical assistance for bilateral programmes aimed at enhancing economic development outcomes in priority countries. The procurement process used a selective method and was completed with awards made on 15 February 2019, following a contract period running from 18 February 2019 to 18 February 2021. This framework encompasses global locations, ensuring services are accessible in British Overseas Territories, the UK, Europe, and beyond. The opportunity was initially opened for tenders until 25 July 2018.

This framework contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in foreign economic aid-related services. Organisations that focus on economic development, particularly those that can provide technical assistance, are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), in particular, may find advantageous positions within this framework, given DFID's emphasis on measurable impacts in priority regions.

## Notice
