## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) procured portfolio management function services for its Digital Products and Services portfolio. The work covers portfolio governance, integrated planning, reporting, risk, assumption, issue and dependency management, performance monitoring, stakeholder coordination, assurance and related portfolio support. The supplier is responsible for providing the people, capability and management needed to establish and operate the function in line with contractual requirements. This is a public-sector digital and technology management consultancy requirement, including project management consultancy, implementation planning and project management software development services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged by the FCDO as the buying organisation, with the requirement relating specifically to oversight and coordination of its Digital Products and Services portfolio.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a competitive call-off under a framework. There was one completed lot. The award was made to i3Works Ltd on 26 August 2026 for £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. The initial contract period is from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with up to two optional one-year extensions allowing a maximum end date of 30 September 2029. The award includes a standstill period ending on 8 September 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 15 September 2026. FCDO may also procure additional specialist resources and delivery support through an agreed rate card, subject to need, funding, contract terms and governance approvals; no minimum additional utilisation is committed.

This award indicates demand from the FCDO for a managed portfolio function supporting a complex digital and technology portfolio, rather than a single project delivery team. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in portfolio governance, integrated planning, management reporting, RAID management, performance monitoring, stakeholder coordination and assurance. It would also need to supply suitably experienced resources and provide the operational management needed to establish and run the service. Experience combining project management consultancy with implementation planning and digital or software-related delivery would be relevant. Suppliers should be able to work within central-government governance, manage dependencies and risks across multiple digital activities, and operate against agreed processes and rate-card arrangements. The incumbent is an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller consultancy.
