The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) is an advisory non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) of the FCDO.

ICAI publishes transparent, impartial and objective reviews to support UK government decision-making and to strengthen the accountability of UK ODA. ICAI operates on 4-year phases, linked to the terms of its Board of Commissioners. The third phase concludes in 2023, so ICAI is now planning for its fourth phase from 2023-2027 and will be seeking a delivery partner to support the ICAI Board of Commissioners to deliver its reviews. The value of the potential contract will be approximately PS10,500,000 over 4 years. Performance of this contract will require global travel to conduct the reviews. An Early Market Engagement event will be held on Tuesday 17th January 23 at 14:00 GMT.
