## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is seeking to procure financial consultancy services through a selective tender process, intended to enhance financial services delivery within various components of a £16.5 million programme, which is set to operate from May 2019 until March 2022. The tender was awarded to Deloitte LPP, with a contract value of £5,600,239. The procurement process was initiated to deliver technical assistance activities, notably in financial inclusion, with delivery primarily scheduled in London and concluding by 31st March 2022.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for large-scale consultancy firms with expertise in financial services and public sector engagements to expand their reach within the UK government framework. Businesses with a strong background in programme management and advisory support, particularly those experienced in agricultural micro-insurance products, will find this a fitting competition. The tender reflects a significant investment aimed at enhancing financial consultancy capabilities across multiple areas, paving the way for innovative service offerings and partnerships in the sector.

## Notice

1.2 The PDP is required to deliver FS focused Technical Assistance (TA) activities through three Components, including: a) Programme Management Unit (PMU) managing a combination of multiple rounds of competitive tenders and call for bids to disburse funds to third-party organisations and experts, and a Strategic Engagement Facility to support UK Government engagement in China; b) ad-hoc scoping and advisory services provided to the Authority; and c) a capped allocation of TA activities for the PDP to implement. 1.3 The Programme will operate between May 2019 and March 2022. The PS16.5m Programme budget is comprised of a total contract value for the PDP in the range of PS3.3m-PS5.775m (inclusive of VAT and all applicable government taxes) and the remaining Programme budget, which is to be disbursed by the PDP via the PMU Component. 1.4 The Programme Portfolio includes a discrete workstream of activities within the Financial Inclusion Pillar focused on agricultural (micro-)insurance products, up to PS3m, to be procured and managed separately to this tender, though this is subject to an ongoing planning process and may be liable to change (that could only result in an uplift to this tender value). The Programme as set out in this tender will require TA activities in all five Pillars, including Financial Inclusion.
