This is a planned tender in the services category, specifically related to Foreign economic-aid-related services, with a projected budget of £65 million. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and an Early Market Engagement Event is scheduled for 21st September 2021, where potential suppliers can gain insights into the procurement scope. Interested parties should register on the FCDO Supplier Portal to receive updates, with a future notice date expected by 1st April 2023. This opportunity to provide expert services in tax and macroeconomics revolves around building the capacity of developing countries in public financial management and taxation. Businesses specialising in economic consultancy, financial services, or public sector training would be ideally positioned to compete for this contract. Companies that can demonstrate experience in delivering technical assistance and designing capacity-building programmes in ODA-eligible countries will likely find significant potential for growth from this engagement. ## Notice This is a prior information notice (PIN) only: Publication and a call for competition will be conducted once the scope of work is fully defined and approved. The purpose of the Resource Centre is to help build the capacity of developing country governments in the areas of tax, public financial management (PFM) and macro-fiscal management more broadly. It will do this by: 1. providing technical assistance, both short and long term, to developing country governments (potentially both national and sub-national/local); 2. supporting UK Embassies and High Commissions that are undertaking scoping studies and political economy analyses for potential comprehensive, long-term capacity building programmes; and 3. piloting the design and implementation of comprehensive, long term capacity-building programmes on PFM and tax itself (this element is to be confirmed and will be subject to proof of concept, demand levels and budget). Geographically, the Resource Centre could be used for work in any ODA-eligible country where the political economy is such that engagement on PFM/tax is possible and likely to produce results. Please register interest to the FCDO Supplier Portal for this opportunity (PROJ10201) to receive all communication and updates. There will be an Early Market Engagement Event on 21/09/2021.
