FCDO wishes to work with Framework Suppliers who are committed to ensuring that the best technical development expertise is quickly and efficiently accessible to FCDO staff and colleagues across the civil service. The aim is to ensure that the UK development programme is at the forefront of international development best practice.
FCDO's professional advisers and programme teams need up-to-date knowledge, evidence, and expert support in order to ensure that our policies and programmes are well designed and managed, achieving maximum impact and value for money. FCDO requires expertise in four broad areas which will support the delivery of the UK's International Development Strategy.
The service will be accessible by FCDO and other UK government departments that deliver programmes funded by UK Official Development Assistance (ODA).
The other UK government departments are:
Home Office
Department of Health & Social Care
Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy
