This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on understanding the market's capability and capacity for providing services related to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Election Observation Missions. Interested organisations must submit a Soft Market Testing questionnaire by 12:00pm on 19th March 2021 via the FCDO's e-procurement portal. The opportunity is categorised under business and management consultancy services, with activities expected to take place in the UK and OSCE member states. Participation in this engagement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in consultancy and management services that align with election observation and democratic support initiatives. Companies capable of delivering related services and possessing relevant experience are encouraged to engage with the FCDO. Although this is not a formal procurement process, insights gained during this engagement may inform future procurement opportunities, making it an advantageous step for businesses looking to expand their operations in governmental contracts. ## Notice The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), is carrying out a pre-market engagement exercise to understand market capability and capacity in delivering the UK Government's contributions to the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Election Observation Missions (EOM).
