## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has completed a tender for the "China Programme - Energy and Low Carbon Economy," which falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services. This procurement was carried out through a selective method, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at approximately £4,276,421, commenced on 19th August 2019 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2024. The opportunity to engage in this project was available until 6th November 2018, with delivery requirements spanning across regions, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses aiming to expand their market reach, particularly those specialising in research, environmental consultancy, and infrastructure development services. Suppliers with experience in international cooperation, especially in contexts linked to infrastructure and low-carbon initiatives, would be well-suited to compete. Furthermore, companies focused on engaging with the Belt and Road Initiative may find this project particularly aligned with their business objectives, fostering potential partnerships with international entities.

## Notice

The overall impact of the China Infrastructure Programme is intended to be (1) inclusive growth and poverty alleviation in ODA-eligible third countries through cooperation with China on infrastructure (including as part of the Belt and Road Initiative), and (2) increased infrastructure trade and investment cooperation between Chinese and international (including UK) businesses. Through these two objectives the Programme will meet the primary and secondary benefits of the Prosperity Fund outlined in 1.12.
