Description

This a Framework Agreement to replace and build upon the current International Multidisciplinary Programme (IMDP) Framework and the current Global Economic Development Framework (GEDF).

The key objectives of the Framework Agreement are:
a) To secure a pool of high- quality suppliers pre-qualified to work in FCDO thematic areas, to deliver improved value for money through further competition
b) Development and improved management of supplier base
c) Access to niche/specialist skills
d) Shortened timescales for call-down process due to pre-qualification of suppliers
e) Improved Management Information for managing framework and supplier base e.g., tracking bidding patterns and recurring issues to improve competition

This Framework Agreement will enable FCDO to access advice, expertise and delivery capacity in a cost efficient and effective manner across multiple thematic areas. It will enable FCDO to commission multi-disciplinary teams of quality professionals to design, manage and deliver international development programme services with greater agility and innovation whilst maintaining fair competition.

Successful Suppliers will provide overseas development assistance advice and expertise to FCDO and other users of the Framework Agreement related to the thematic areas of:

- Lots 1 and 8: Climate Change and Nature
- Lots 2 and 9: Health and Humanitarian
- Lots 3 and 10: Education, Gender and Social Inclusion
- Lots 4 and 11: Economic Development and Trade
- Lots 5 and 12: Finance and Investment
- Lots 6 and 13: Research
- Lots 7 and 14: Governance and Conflict

The Lots were split into 2 tiers. Tier 1 for the High Value Lots comprised ITT_5435. Tier 2 for the Low Value Lots comprised ITT_5436. Lead Suppliers decided
which tier to bid on - Tier 1 High Value Lots (1-7) or Tier 2 Low Value Lots (8-14). Within each tier Lead Suppliers could bid on one or multiple lots.

The Framework Agreement commenced in December 2023 for the period of 2 years with two (2) one year extension options each subject to ongoing need.

The maximum throughput of the Framework Agreement will be £3bn with £1.5bn for the initial term and £750m for each of the 2 extensions.
