## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is awarding a contract amendment titled "PO 7963 - Improving Public Financial Management and Accountability (PFMA2) Programme - Amendment No 3". This amendment includes an increase in the overall contract value to £799,999.76 and extends the contract until 31 March 2022. The procurement method used was selective, as a call-off from a framework agreement. The original contract began on 17 October 2017, with this amendment being published on 18 June 2021, specifically around foreign economic-aid-related services.

This opportunity may significantly benefit businesses involved in consultancy and support services affiliated with public financial management and accountability, particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). With the FCDO actively seeking delivery partners to adapt to new challenges such as COVID-19, this represents a chance for qualified firms to engage in valuable projects that could enhance their portfolio and contribute to growth within the sector.
