The milestone for engagement end date is set for 11th May 2023. This tender opportunity is at the planning stage initiated as a tender. The programme objective is to reduce barriers to development in ASEAN Member States, increase prosperity, and provide a foundation for inclusive economic development. The procurement aims to support women's economic empowerment, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), focusing on regulatory reform, financial services, and trade through technical assistance. This procurement process led by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs looking to participate in foreign economic-aid-related services. Prospective suppliers are invited to engage in the procurement process to support ASEAN Member States and Timor-Leste. Businesses well-suited to compete are those with a focus on inclusion, digitisation, and supporting economic empowerment initiatives in the ASEAN region. The deadline for engaging with the opportunity by completing the survey via the EME Registration Form is before 11th May 2023. ## Notice This is a notice to publish an Early Market Engagement Event which is being held on 11th May 2023 (09:00 UK time).

Programme Objective: 1. The programme aims to reduce barriers to development in ASEAN Member States and for the overall ASEAN Economic Community, to increase prosperity and provide the foundation for more inclusive economic development that benefits the poorest in society. This programme will be crucial in delivering the UK's commitments set out in the ASEAN/UK Plan of Action, which sets the framework for ASEAN-UK cooperation. 2. The programme will support ASEAN Member States, and Timor-Leste which is on the path to ASEAN accession, to implement ASEAN initiatives that will reduce poverty in the region, and in particular support inclusion by focussing on women's economic empowerment and micro, small and medium sized enterprises (MSMEs). It will support reforms covering regulatory reform, financial services, and trade through technical assistance, capacity building and knowledge-transfer partnerships. It will look to harness the potential of digitisation in ASEAN to support this objective.
