This procurement process falls under the category of "Foreign economic-aid-related services" and is based in the United Kingdom. The contract has a monetary value of £2,000,000 and follows a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 10th June 2020 to 6th June 2022. The relevant procurement stage is complete, with the most recent award being published on 16th July 2021. This tender presents substantial opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to engage in international aid and support initiatives. Given the contract's focus on delivering technical assistance and support to governments in response to the COVID-19 crisis across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, businesses experienced in consultancy, project management, and capacity-building services would be ideally positioned to compete for future opportunities arising from similar public contracts. ## Notice This amendment relates to a 12-month extension and increase in the financial limit by PS2,000,000. The extension will continue to provide demand driven technical assistance and delivery unit support across African, Middle Eastern and Asian governments in response to the COVID-19 crisis.
