## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office has completed the procurement process titled "Judicial and Law Enforcement Training on Smuggling of Migrants’ Legislation (ISF Iraq)" with the award given on 29th October 2025. This public procurement activity focused on diplomatic services and involved selective procurement through calling off from a framework agreement. The contract began on 29th October 2025 and will continue until 31st March 2026. This initiative aims to support the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and its judiciary, delivering benefits across locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom, enhancing legal frameworks regarding migrant smuggling legislation. The procurement was aimed at the industry category of diplomatic services, with an overall value of £818,623.

This contract creates substantial opportunities for businesses within the diplomatic and legal services sector, particularly those capable of providing training and legislative support. Companies that can offer a robust understanding of organised immigration crime and have expertise in implementing legal frameworks would be well-suited for such opportunities. Additionally, the procurement process showed favourability towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs), making it an opportunity for such entities to compete and grow their business by expanding their operational relationships with both the KRG and European partners. This contract not only supports legal and diplomatic collaboration but could open doors for businesses to potentially participate in further international law enforcement and training initiatives. The contract was awarded to GIST Research Ltd, indicating their strengths in the field.

## Notice

This Contract will continue UK efforts to support the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and its judiciary to pass through Parliament and implement new Smuggling of Migrants or 'Organised Immigration Crime (OIC)' legislation across the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). It will also strengthen HMG's operational relationships with not only KRG agencies and the judiciary, but also European partners, as it will better facilitate a 'whole of route' approach to counter-OIC law enforcement efforts on the ground.
