Description

In September 2015, HMG announced the creation of a new £1.3 billion, Cross-Whitehall Prosperity Fund. The Fund's primary objective is to promote inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction, in accordance with Official Development Assistance rules and the International Development Act.

The Framework Agreement will provide one of a number of instruments relevant to the delivery of HMG's Prosperity funded activity. It will be the preferred platform for the engagement of commercial suppliers for Prosperity related work but due to the anticipated diversity of Cross-Whitehall Prosperity programmes the Framework Agreement may not provide a solution to the totality of Prosperity requirements or, on occasion, the most efficient procurement route to market. The services procured through the Framework Agreement shall therefore be on a non-exclusive basis and UK government departments reserve the right to procure the services of third parties using other procurement routes.
