## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office has awarded a contract for services to Oxford Policy Management Limited to deliver the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund 2 programme in South Sudan. The contract is valued at up to £8 million with a start date of 31 October 2023 and an end date of 31 October 2026. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 1 September 2023. The contract aims to address subnational conflicts in South Sudan, strengthen national NGOs, and provide stabilisation support in conflict hotspots.

This procurement opportunity by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office presents a chance for businesses, especially those in the services sector, to engage in delivering peacebuilding programmes in South Sudan. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are well-suited to participate. The contract value of up to £8 million and the focus on peace and stability initiatives offer significant growth potential for organisations that align with the objectives of the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund 2 programme.

## Notice

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has awarded a contract for services to deliver the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund 2 programme (POF2) to Oxford Policy Management Limited. The contract value is up to PS8m. The contract start date is 31 October 2023 and the end date of 31 October 2026. The contract may be extended by up to 12 months with a maximum budget increase of PS1.9 million. POF2 is part of the overarching South Sudan Peacebuilding Programme (SSPP), a central tool for delivering the UK's peace and stability objectives in South Sudan. The support provided by POF2 will contribute to the following outcomes: - Communities affected by cyclical subnational conflicts, exacerbated by political manipulation and the impact of the climate crisis, will lead local peace processes and drive implementation resulting in greater resilience to violence, the establishment of community-owned mechanisms to prevent future conflict and addressing the drivers and root causes of violence. - Community-led peace processes include the meaningful participation of women and youth, ensuring their needs are met in resulting agreements and challenging underlying social norms that perpetuate their exclusion and marginalisation. - Any national NGOs included in the delivery of the POF2 contract will be strengthened both institutionally and technically with the medium-term aim of national NGOs delivering future peacebuilding programmes as direct funding recipients. - Emerging conflict hotspots receive rapid stabilisation support that lays the foundation for longer-term peacebuilding interventions, reducing the escalation and proliferation of subnational violence.
