## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office awarded the 'Women in Diplomacy 2023' project to Beyond Limits Consulting. The project involves a career development programme for female diplomats from the UK and several European countries, focusing on areas such as personal branding, negotiation, and leadership skills. The contract is valued at £38,450 and runs from August 23, 2023, to March 15, 2024.

This opportunity, suitable for businesses providing training services, was procured through an open procedure. The project is designed to create growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in professional development and training. The initiative aims to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking among female leaders in government, offering business prospects for organisations capable of delivering career development workshops and evaluation services.

## Notice

Now in its sixth year, the 'Women in Diplomacy' project aims to bring a cohort of female diplomats from the UK and seven European countries: Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Poland, The Netherlands, Norway, and the EEAS, which will be a new addition for this year, together for a career development programme. This programme will focus on development areas such as personal branding, goal setting, negotiation, communication and leadership skills. It will also invite female leaders in government to share best practice and identify common challenges and opportunities. The external training provider will develop, deliver, facilitate, and evaluate a series of career development training workshops for up to 40 new female participants. The external training provider will write a final report on the key outcomes of the training.
