## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has awarded a contract for the delivery partner to support the outcomes of Project Pharos, aimed at leveraging data for efficient crisis response involving British Nationals overseas. The award was made on 18th May 2022 with a contract period beginning on 26th May 2022 and concluding on 24th August 2022. The total contract value stands at £295,256, and it falls under the data services category within the service procurement category. This procurement process was initiated through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, following a planning and tendering stage that ended on 10th May 2022.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in data services, particularly those with innovative solutions for crisis management and real-time data insights. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, given that the procurement is suited for them. Companies that have experience in collaborating with governmental organisations and a capability to integrate data across various platforms would be well-positioned to participate in this competitive, forward-thinking tender.

## Notice

Project Pharos aims to access real-time insights to estimate how many British Nationals are overseas to support efficient and effective crisis response. This solution would be able to map indicative number of eligible persons for HMG support in times of crisis across the world. Project Pharos was an idea submitted by the FCDO to a cross government competition called the Data Challenge demonstrating how government could be using data better. The concept was developed over a 6-month period by a team of civil servants, led by the FCDO, and made it to the finals of the competition before a judge of senior civil servants in December of 2021. It is now at a point where it could be moved from concept to an initial iteration.The solution should be able to leverage data held across HMG and beyond, open Source being a key source. It is anticipated that the solution will be hosted on the ONS Integrated Data Service (IDS). ONS will be a key stakeholder and close collaboration will be needed to ensure delivery
