This procurement process is currently at the planning stage and includes a Prior Information Notice (PIN) aimed at early market engagement. FCDO will host a virtual event on 2nd February 2022, from 14:00 to 16:00 UK time, to solicit input from potential suppliers regarding this programme, which is focused on aiding low- and lower-middle-income countries in securing high-quality infrastructure development. An important communication about future notices is expected on 30th November 2022. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand their reach into international development and infrastructure projects. Companies specialising in economic aid, infrastructure financing, and technical assistance would be particularly well-suited to participate. The engagement event will not only provide insights into the programme's requirements but also facilitate networking with FCDO representatives, enabling firms to position themselves as key suppliers for future contracts aimed at sustainable infrastructure development in partnership with countries that require financial support. ## Notice Early Market Engagement (EME): This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) only for an Early Market Engagement (EME) for information to the market on FCDO's BSIP programme. The PIN which has been published is not a call for competition or tender at this time, it is an information notice to highlight to the market the intent to have a virtual EME event on Wednesday, 2nd February 2022 from 14:00 to 16:00 UK Time. Programme Objective: BSIP (formerly known as the Developing Markets Infrastructure Programme or DMIP) will support predominately low- / lower middle- income country governments to prepare, procure and finance high-quality, development-focussed sovereign-backed infrastructure projects. BSIP will provide grants and technical assistance to enable governments to borrow at concessional rates for infrastructure projects, where they are not able to do so commercially, or where they clearly require concessional finance to support their national climate plans. It will work alongside loans from commercially-priced sources, including UK Export Finance, helping to level the playing field for partner governments to procure high quality, sustainable infrastructure development. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Early Market Engagement (EME): This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) only for an Early Market Engagement (EME) for information to the market on FCDO's BSIP programme.
