## Summary

The Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund contract has been awarded by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office. The contract aims to address conflict reduction and peacebuilding objectives in South Sudan, extending the initial contract value to £5,827,875. The procurement method used was a negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice, and the delivery location is South Sudan. The contract deadline has been extended to 31st October 2023.

This tender provides business growth opportunities for organisations with experience in foreign economic-aid-related services. Companies offering expertise in conflict resolution and peacebuilding are well-suited to compete for this tender. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office is seeking suppliers to support the Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund programme, offering a significant contract value and the potential for further extensions beyond the initial period.

## Notice

The Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund seeks to address a gap, as recommended by the 2017 Joint Analysis on Conflict and stability (JACS) in South Sudan with a mechanism to pursue conflict reduction and peacebuilding objectives in a flexible, strategic, and sustained manner. This contract was awarded as a CSSF Framework call-down. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (the 'FCDO') is therefore seeking to extend the time and increase the initial contract value for the Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund with the current supplier.

### Procurement Information

The Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund seeks to address a gap, as recommended by the 2017 Joint Analysis on Conflict and stability (JACS) in South Sudan with a mechanism to pursue conflict reduction and peacebuilding objectives in a flexible, strategic, and sustained manner. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (the 'FCDO') is therefore seeking to extend the time and increase the initial contract value for the Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund. The Authority is unable to change contractor at this stage for economic and technical reasons, and to do so would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for the Authority. Recognising the need for a long-term solution, the Authority is already undertaking the re-procurement activities including the internal steps ahead of ITT publication anticipated by July 2023 of the next phase of the POF 2 programme to provide a sustainable basis for meeting these requirements. In the short term however, the Authority considers it necessary to exercise a contract amendment to the Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund, delivered by Oxford Policy Management Limited. This procedure will; i) increase the upper value limit of Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund from PS4,765,927 to PS5,827,875; and ii) extend the term of Peacebuilding Opportunity Fund from 31 MARCH 2023 to 31 OCTOBER 2023.
