## Summary

The Westminster Foundation for Democracy is buying business and management consultancy to strengthen politically informed governance and policy work at the British High Commission in Islamabad. The assignment is to embed politically informed approaches across the High Commission’s policy and portfolio activities. Delivery is expected through repeat visits to Pakistan by international consultants, supported between visits by remote international expertise and assistance from people based in-country. The work therefore combines strategic governance and policy advice with ongoing support, rather than a single assessment or report. The services are for the High Commission’s internal policy and portfolio activity in Islamabad.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to The Policy Practice. It was run as a below-threshold procurement, with the specific method not stated. The contract was signed on 15 December 2025 and runs from that date to 31 January 2027. Its value is £199,989 including VAT. The assignment is a single lot, covering consultancy to strengthen politically informed governance and policy at the High Commission. The available procurement details do not set out separate evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements or weightings, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described more specifically.

For consultancies considering similar work for the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, this award demonstrates demand for specialist governance and policy advice supporting a diplomatic mission’s internal policy and portfolio work. A credible supplier would need to show that it can apply politically informed approaches in practice, advise on governance and policy, and work effectively with an institution operating in a complex international setting. The delivery model also favours teams able to combine experienced international consultants travelling to the country with sustained remote support and local in-country assistance between visits. Suppliers would need the capacity to coordinate those complementary inputs and maintain continuity across a programme of repeat engagements. The selected supplier is a policy consultancy, indicating that relevant policy expertise is central to this requirement.

## Notice

The objective of this project is to embed politically informed approaches across policy and portfolio activities inside the British High Commission Islamabad. Support is expected to be delivered through repeat in-country visits from the international consultants (up to six visits), with support being provided in-between visits through a combination of remote (international) and in-country (local) assistance.
