The FCDO reserves the right to change the process at any stage and to undertake this procurement using alternative routes.

Participation or non-participation in this market engagement exercise shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of this exercise shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process.
