The programme supports peacebuilding at community and sub-national level, working with communities and South Sudanese national non-governmental organisations to develop alternatives to national-level engagement. Its scope includes strengthening community-led peace governance, implementing agreements, improving local accountability and encouraging realistic community contributions. It also supports South Sudanese partners to build governance, financial resilience, business development and technical leadership, while capturing and sharing learning through monitoring, evaluation, learning activities, community reflection, strategic communications and stakeholder engagement. The work is delivered in South Sudan and is managed by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, based in London. The requirement is classified under CPV 75211200 for foreign economic-aid-related services. This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Oxford Policy Management Limited was selected as supplier, with an active award and an active contract. The contract was signed on 30 October 2023 and has a total value of £12 million. The contract is being extended by 12 months, from October 2026 to October 2027, with an additional £2.1 million added to the previous £9.9 million financial headroom. The process uses a limited procedure: an award without prior publication of a call for competition. The original contract was awarded through a call-down under a framework agreement, and this VEAT process concerns the proposed extension with the named supplier. There is one lot, covering the whole requirement, and subcontracting is involved. This award demonstrates demand for substantial, specialist peacebuilding and international development delivery in South Sudan. A credible future competitor would need experience of working with communities and national non-governmental organisations on peace governance, implementation of local agreements and accountability. It would also need the capability to strengthen partner governance, financial resilience, business development and technical leadership, including reducing dependence on a single funding source. Evidence-led programme management is important, including monitoring, evaluation and learning, community reflection, strategic communications and stakeholder engagement. Suppliers should be able to transfer lessons into wider peacebuilding practice and support follow-on investment. The procurement route also indicates that relevant experience of framework-based call-downs and delivery at sub-national level would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next sources comparable work. ## Notice This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. This notice is to indicate that the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) proposes to extend the contract with the named supplier for the South Sudan - Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund 2 (POF2). The contract will be extended by 12 months from October 2026 to October 2027 in line with the extension provisions of the contract. The contract value will be increased by PS2.1m over and above its current financial head room of PS9.9m to PS12m. The additional time and budget enables FCDO to invest more at sub-national peacebuilding level, working with communities and national NGO's to develop alternatives to the national level engagement. The proposed amendment will: * Consolidate community-led peace governance by strengthening existing structures, implementation of agreements, local accountability and realistic community co-contribution, so peace processes become less dependent on external facilitation. * Embed sustainability in national peacebuilding capacity by supporting South Sudanese partners to strengthen governance, financial resilience, business development and technical leadership, including through diversified funding and reduced reliance on POF. * Capture, transfer and leverage learning through final MEL rounds, community reflection, strategic communications and targeted stakeholder engagement, ensuring evidence from POF informs wider practice and supports follow-on investment beyond the programme. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice.
