## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office has awarded a contract titled "Women in Diplomacy" for specialist training services. The procurement method used was an open procedure (below threshold). The contract is valued at £33,800 and the contract period is from 3rd October 2022 to 15th March 2023. The procurement stage is at the award stage and the tender period ended on 9th September 2022.

This tender by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office presents business growth opportunities for companies providing specialist training services targeting women in diplomacy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract. Businesses based in the United Kingdom and other European countries can participate, catering to the increased budget allocated for the programme in the upcoming year.

## Notice

The Women in Diplomacy programme aims to develop closer ties with, and support for, women working in diplomacy across like-minded partners. In 2018-19 and 2019-20, FCDO delivered two successful career development courses for female diplomats from the UK and five other European Ministries of Foreign Affairs (Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, and Rome). In 2020-21 and 2021-22, FCDO built on this success through virtual training of a third and fourth cohort of female diplomats in the mid stages of their careers (four-seven years' experience) and last year we expanded the programme to a sixth MFA (The Hague). In 2022-23 with an increased budget, reflecting the programme's success so far, FCDO aims to expand again to one additional European country.
