"description": "FCDO is seeking Supplier to deliver a 12-month Framework Agreement of up to GBP 13 000 000 from February 2023 until February 2024 to provide Expert Advisory Call Down Services.\nThe value of Lot 1 may be up to GBP 4 000 000, however, the total estimated Framework Agreement value will be managed across all 4 Lots up to a maximum budget of GBP 13 000 000.\nThis Framework is solely for work in relation to ODA (Official Development Assistance) for FCDO and Other Government Departments who have ODA budgets.\nThe timeframe may be extended by up to an additional 2 x 12 months beyond the original 12 month term until February 2026 subject to satisfactory performance of the suppliers, continuing need, availability of funding, and the agreement of the suppliers and FCDO, utilising a negotiated procedure.\nPlease note the estimated value of this Framework Agreement is up to a maximum of GBP 39 000 000 split across all four lots. This figure includes a value of GBP 13 000 000 split across all four lots for the initial 12 month term and the possible 2 x 12 month extensions at a total value of GBP 26 000 000 split across all four lots and extension options. The estimated value includes all applicable taxes, and tenderers should include all applicable taxes in their\ntenders. Please note that the estimated value above represents a maximum, and FCDO expects that competitive tenders based on the Terms of Reference (Volume 3 of the ITT Pack) will come in at a lower level.\nThe main recipients of the services will be UK aid programmes. The service will be accessible by FCDO and other UK government departments that deliver programmes funded by UK Official Development Assistance (ODA).\nThe expected outcomes are to provide additional technical expertise to FCDO departments, overseas offices and Other Government Departments in the delivery of Official Development\nAssistance (ODA). This will include but is not limited to programme design and development, business case development, independent advice/inputs into new and innovative thinking and products and rapid provision of technical teams to deliver specific requirements where there is a time-sensitive need.\nLot 1: Women and Girls, ITT_5143\nUnlocking the full potential and power of women and girls accelerates progress on all our global priorities, from economic prosperity to security. The UK has long been at the vanguard of standing up for the rights of women and girls around the world, through our development, diplomatic and legislative efforts, including the International Development (Gender Equality) Act 2014. This is not just good development, but also symbolises UK ideals, and is\npart of what we offer to the world.\nThis will be a single supplier Lot with quick turnaround timescales of 2-3 weeks to get expertise and teams on the ground, direct call-off contracts, pre-determined Expert Band Ceiling Rates linked to expertise, agreed discounts based on number of input days, use of the HMRC ceiling policy for travel and subsistence with payments reimbursed based on actual expenditure, and contractual SLA's and KPIs.\nFramework Suppliers should be aware that through the life of the Framework, FCDO expect that some roles may fall under the UK Governments off payroll working rules (IR35). FCDO will provide to the Supplier a determination as to the technical expert's employment status.\nThe Framework Suppliers, as the worker's fee payer, will be responsible for deducting Tax and National Insurance contributions, paying these to HMRC, in line with the associated reporting requirements as detailed in: https://www.gov.uk/topic/business-tax/ir35\nLead Suppliers are not eligible to Sub-contract on other bids for the Framework Agreement.\nIf a Lead Supplier is identified as a sub-contractor on another bid for the Framework Agreement, FCDO will exclude the Bid submitted by the Lead Supplier from our evaluation.\nAn FCDO standard Framework Agreement will be awarded. Additional information: Lead Suppliers are eligible to bid for more than one Lot, however, Lead Suppliers can only be successful on one Lot.\nThe successful Lead Supplier will be determined by achieving the highest combined technical and commercial score in a Lot. Where a Lead Supplier has achieved the highest total score in more than one Lot, FCDO will award the Lead Supplier the Lot they attained the highest score.",

"description": "FCDO is seeking Supplier to deliver a 12-month Framework Agreement of up to GBP 13 000 000 from February 2023 until February 2024 to provide Expert Advisory Call Down Services.\nThe value of Lot 1 may be up to GBP 4 000 000, however, the total estimated Framework Agreement value will be managed across all 4 Lots up to a maximum budget of GBP 13 000 000.\nThis Framework is solely for work in relation to ODA (Official Development Assistance) for FCDO and Other Government Departments who have ODA budgets.\nThe timeframe may be extended by up to an additional 2 x 12 months beyond the original 12 month term until February 2026 subject to satisfactory performance of the suppliers, continuing need, availability of funding, and the agreement of the suppliers and FCDO, utilising a negotiated procedure.\nPlease note the estimated value of this Framework Agreement is up to a maximum of GBP 39 000 000 split across all four lots. This figure includes a value of GBP 13 000 000 split across all four lots for the initial 12 month term and the possible 2 x 12 month extensions at a total value of GBP 26 000 000 split across all four lots and extension options. The estimated value includes all applicable taxes, and tenderers should include all applicable taxes in their\ntenders. Please note that the estimated value above represents a maximum, and FCDO expects that competitive tenders based on the Terms of Reference (Volume 3 of the ITT Pack) will come in at a lower level.\nThe main recipients of the services will be UK aid programmes. The service will be accessible by FCDO and other UK government departments that deliver programmes funded by UK Official Development Assistance (ODA).\nThe expected outcomes are to provide additional technical expertise to FCDO departments, overseas offices and Other Government Departments in the delivery of Official Development\nAssistance (ODA). This will include but is not limited to programme design and development, business case development, independent advice/inputs into new and innovative thinking and products and rapid provision of technical teams to deliver specific requirements where there is a time-sensitive need.\nLot 1: Women and Girls, ITT_5143\nUnlocking the full potential and power of women and girls accelerates progress on all our global priorities, from economic prosperity to security. The UK has long been at the vanguard of standing up for the rights of women and girls around the world, through our development, diplomatic and legislative efforts, including the International Development (Gender Equality) Act 2014. This is not just good development, but also symbolises UK ideals, and is\npart of what we offer to the world.\nThis will be a single supplier Lot with quick turnaround timescales of 2-3 weeks to get expertise and teams on the ground, direct call-off contracts, pre-determined Expert Band Ceiling Rates linked to expertise, agreed discounts based on number of input days, use of the HMRC ceiling policy for travel and subsistence with payments reimbursed based on actual expenditure, and contractual SLA's and KPIs.\nFramework Suppliers should be aware that through the life of the Framework, FCDO expect that some roles may fall under the UK Governments off payroll working rules (IR35). FCDO will provide to the Supplier a determination as to the technical expert's employment status.\nThe Framework Suppliers, as the worker's fee payer, will be responsible for deducting Tax and National Insurance contributions, paying these to HMRC, in line with the associated reporting requirements as detailed in: https://www.gov.uk/topic/business-tax/ir35\nLead Suppliers are not eligible to Sub-contract on other bids for the Framework Agreement.\nIf a Lead Supplier is identified as a sub-contractor on another bid for the Framework Agreement, FCDO will exclude the Bid submitted by the Lead Supplier from our evaluation.\nAn FCDO standard Framework Agreement will be awarded. Additional information: Lead Suppliers are eligible to bid for more than one Lot, however, Lead Suppliers can only be successful on one Lot.\nThe successful Lead Supplier will be determined by achieving the highest combined technical and commercial score in a Lot. Where a Lead Supplier has achieved the highest total score in more than one Lot, FCDO will award the Lead Supplier the Lot they attained the highest score.",

This figure includes a value of GBP 13 000 000 split across all four lots for the initial 12 month term and the possible 2 x 12 month extensions at a total value of GBP 26 000 000 split across all four lots and extension options. The estimated value includes all applicable taxes, and tenderers should include all applicable taxes in their tenders. Please note that the estimated value above represents a maximum, and FCDO expects that competitive tenders based on the Terms of Reference (Volume 3 of the ITT Pack) will come in at a lower level.\nThe main recipients of the services will be UK aid programmes. The service will be accessible by FCDO and other UK government departments that deliver programmes funded by UK Official Development Assistance (ODA).\nThe expected outcomes are to provide additional technical expertise to FCDO departments, overseas offices and Other Government Departments in the delivery of Official Development Assistance (ODA). This will include but is not limited to programme design and development, business case development, independent advice/inputs into new and innovative thinking and products and rapid provision of technical teams to deliver specific requirements where there is a time-sensitive need. \nLot 1: Women and Girls, ITT_5143\nUnlocking the full potential and power of women and girls accelerates progress on all our global priorities, from economic prosperity to security.

This is not just good development, but also symbolises UK ideals, and is part of what we offer to the world.\nThis will be a single supplier Lot with quick turnaround timescales of 2-3 weeks to get expertise and teams on the ground, direct call-off contracts, pre-determined Expert Band Ceiling Rates linked to expertise, agreed discounts based on number of input days, use of the HMRC ceiling policy for travel and subsistence with payments reimbursed based on actual expenditure, and contractual SLA's and KPIs.\nFramework Suppliers should be aware that through the life of the Framework, FCDO expect that some roles may fall under the UK Governments off payroll working rules (IR35). FCDO will provide to the Supplier a determination as to the technical expert's employment status. The Framework Suppliers, as the worker's fee payer, will be responsible for deducting Tax and National Insurance contributions, paying these to HMRC, in line with the associated reporting requirements as detailed in: https://www.gov.uk/topic/business-tax/ir35\nLead Suppliers are not eligible to Sub-contract on other bids for the Framework Agreement. If a Lead Supplier is identified as a sub-contractor on another bid for the Framework Agreement, FCDO will exclude the Bid submitted by the Lead Supplier from our evaluation.\nSubcontractors are eligible to participate in more than one bid for the Framework Agreement and across all 4 Lots.

Additional information: Lead Suppliers: \nLead Suppliers are eligible to bid for more than one Lot, however, Lead Suppliers can only be successful on one Lot. \nThe successful Lead Supplier will be determined by achieving the highest combined technical and commercial score in a Lot.

We can help, by putting our national economic power at the centre of our development approach: capital markets, investment and growth expertise, independent trade policies.\nThis will be a single supplier Lot with quick turnaround timescales of 2-3 weeks to get expertise and teams on the ground, direct call-off contracts, pre-determined Expert Band Ceiling Rates linked to expertise, agreed discounts based on number of input days, use of the HMRC ceiling policy for travel and subsistence with payments reimbursed based on actual expenditure, and contractual SLA's and KPIs.\nFramework Suppliers should be aware that through the life of the Framework, FCDO expect that some roles may fall under the UK Governments off payroll working rules (IR35). FCDO will provide to the Supplier a determination as to the technical expert's employment status. The Framework Suppliers, as the worker's fee payer, will be responsible for deducting Tax and National Insurance contributions, paying these to HMRC, in line with the associated reporting requirements as detailed in: https://www.gov.uk/topic/business-tax/ir35\nLead Suppliers are not eligible to Sub-contract on other bids for the Framework Agreement. If a Lead Supplier is identified as a sub-contractor on another bid for the Framework Agreement, FCDO will exclude the Bid submitted by the Lead Supplier from our evaluation.\nSubcontractors are eligible to participate in more than one bid for the Framework Agreement and across all 4 Lots. Sub-contractors can be successful on more than one Lot.\nAn FCDO standard Framework Agreement will be awarded. Additional information: Lead Suppliers: \nLead Suppliers are eligible to bid for more than one Lot, however, Lead Suppliers can only be successful on one Lot. \nThe successful Lead Supplier will be determined by achieving the highest combined technical and commercial score in a Lot. Where a Lead Supplier has achieved the highest total score in more than one Lot, FCDO will award the Lead Supplier the Lot in which they have attained their highest score. \nFCDO reserve the right to award more than one Lot to a Lead Supplier in exceptional circumstances where they are the only Lead Supplier to demonstrate sufficient capability against the published criteria, and meet the requirements set out in ITT Volume 2, Technical scoring and grounds for exclusion, page 11, after securing their first Lot award. \nLead Suppliers are not eligible to Sub-contract on other bids for the Framework Agreement.
