## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is currently overseeing the completion of a public procurement process titled "PO10042 - Alpha and Beta development of the Growth Gateway - an XHMG digital platform - CA 1." This initiative falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and is based in East Kilbride, Scotland. The procurement method adopted is selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total value of £248,252. Although the tender period has ended, the contract itself runs from November 5, 2021, to March 31, 2022, following contract amendments that extended its original scope and financial limits.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), who can provide services related to digital platform development and foreign economic aid. Companies with expertise in digital technology, particularly those experienced in developing platforms for trade and investment facilitation, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. Engaging with the FCDO Supplier Portal is essential for interested suppliers wishing to stay informed about future tenders and opportunities within this domain.
