Published requirement 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 GBP 3 000 000 000 with GBP 1 500 000 000 for the initial term and GBP 750 000 000 for each of the 2 extensions.

Lot #1Climate and Nature >£7mAwardedRenewalceiling above

FCDO sought a Supplier to deliver a 24-month Framework Agreement of up to GBP 1 500 000 000 (GBP 3 000 000 000 inclusive of all extension and scale up options) from December 2023 until December 2025 to 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.

The value of each Lot (1-14) is unknown at this time; however, the total estimated Framework Agreement value will be managed across all 14 Lots up to a maximum budget of GBP 3 000 000 000.

The timeframe may be extended by up to an additional 2 x 12 months beyond the original 24 month term until December 2026 and then December 2027 subject to satisfactory performance of the suppliers, continuing need, availability of funding, and the agreement of the suppliers and FCDO.

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.

The recipients of the services will be determined in each call-down contract. The services will be accessible by FCDO and other UK government departments that deliver programmes funded by UK Official Development Assistance (ODA).

FCDO sought a Supplier to deliver a 24-month Framework Agreement of up to GBP 1 500 000 000 (GBP 3 000 000 000 inclusive of all extension and scale up options) from December 2023 until December 2025 to 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.

The value of each Lot (1-14) is unknown at this time; however, the total estimated Framework Agreement value will be managed across all 14 Lots up to a maximum budget of GBP 3 000 000 000.

The timeframe may be extended by up to an additional 2 x 12 months beyond the original 24 month term until December 2026 and then December 2027 subject to satisfactory performance of the suppliers, continuing need, availability of funding, and the agreement of the suppliers and FCDO.

The suppliers ranked 8 to 10 would be awarded a place in the Lot if there is insufficient coverage amongst the top 7 ranked suppliers and adding the suppliers ranked 8 to 10 would increase the suppliers with the capability that has insufficient coverage by at least one supplier. This option was not exercised by FCDO following the evaluation process because the above criteria were not met. In the event that the highest combined Technical, Social Value, and Commercial Score resulted in a tie, the Contract/Framework Agreement would be offered to the Potential Supplier who achieved the highest overall score for the Technical criteria. In the event that the highest scoring Potential Supplier declined to enter into the Contract/Framework Agreement, FCDO could choose to proceed to contract award with the next highest scoring Potential Supplier. This option was not exercised by FCDO following the evaluation process because the above criteria were not met. · FCDO intends to tender for a new requirement following the completion of GDD, subject to the continued need for the services provided.Variant bids: not allowed

FCDO sought a Supplier to deliver a 24-month Framework Agreement of up to GBP 1 500 000 000 (GBP 3 000 000 000 inclusive of all extension and scale up options) from December 2023 until December 2025 to 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.

The value of each Lot (1-14) is unknown at this time; however, the total estimated Framework Agreement value will be managed across all 14 Lots up to a maximum budget of GBP 3 000 000 000.

The timeframe may be extended by up to an additional 2 x 12 months beyond the original 24 month term until December 2026 and then December 2027 subject to satisfactory performance of the suppliers, continuing need, availability of funding, and the agreement of the suppliers and FCDO.

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.

The recipients of the services will be determined in each call-down contract. The services will be accessible by FCDO and other UK government departments that deliver programmes funded by UK Official Development Assistance (ODA).

Specific details of the procurement process followed were available to all suppliers in the ITT Pack via ITT_5435 and ITT_5436 on the FCDO Supplier Portal

Extensions: Options to extend and increase value Please note the estimated value of this requirement is up to a maximum of GBP 3 000 000 000 split across 14 lots. This figure includes a value of GBP 1 500 000 000 covering all fourteen lots for the initial 24-month term and the possible 2 x 12-month extensions at a value of GBP 1 500 000 000 covering all fourteen lots.

Following the completion of the evaluation the Framework Agreement was offered to the Top 15 Potential Suppliers who met the required capability and achieved the highest combined Social Value Score, Technical Score, and Commercial score for each Lot. In each Lot, with the exception of Lot 11, FCDO reserved the right to increase to 20 suppliers if FCDO determined that there was insufficient coverage in thematic expertise.

The suppliers ranked 16 to 20 would be awarded a place in the Lot if there is insufficient coverage amongst the top 15 ranked suppliers and adding the suppliers ranked 16 to 20 would increase the suppliers with the capability that has insufficient coverage by at least one supplier.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Global Development Delivery Framework (GDD)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 270 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Publisher note: The authority expressly reserved the right: (i) not to award any Framework Agreements as a result of the procurement process commenced by publication of the contract notice; and (ii) to make whatever changes it saw fit to the content and structure of the tendering competition and Procurement documents that could be accessed through the FCDO supply partner portal https://fcdo.bravosolution.co.uk Please note that the contract notice covered 2 ITT references on the FCDO Supplier Portal - one for each of the Lot Tiers: • ITT_5435, High Value Lots 1-7 • ITT_5436, Low Value Lots 8-14 The ITT Packs were tailored to the specific requirements of the High and Low Value Lots. Suppliers submitted their Bids against the Lot and ITT number they were to be considered for. Lead Suppliers decided whether to bid for the High Value lot(s) or Low Value lot(s). The High Value lot(s) represents Tier 1, and the Low Value lot(s) represents Tier 2. Lead Suppliers selected which tier to bid on. Within a tier, Lead Suppliers could bid for one lot or multiple lots. An illustration of this is provided in Annex 6 of the Terms of Reference. If a Lead Supplier submitted proposals for both High Value Lots and Low Value Lots, FCDO reserved the right to reject these proposals. However, FCDO confirmed that if this were to hanppen, we would send a clarification to Lead Suppliers to ask which proposal(s) we should consider i.e., High Value lot proposal(s) or Low Value lot proposal(s) based on the Lead Supplier’s response we would reject the other proposal(s). An illustration of this is provided in Annex 6 of the Terms of Reference. A Lead Supplier could be a sub-contractor on High Value Lot(s) and Low Value Lot(s), but not on the lot(s) they have bid on as a Lead Supplier (i.e., a supplier could not be a Lead and a sub-contractor in the same Lot). If a Lead Supplier bid on a specific lot and also joined as a sub-contractor to another Supplier on the same lot, they were rejected as a Lead Supplier on that specific lot. An illustration of this is provided in Annex 6 of the Terms of Reference. Lead Suppliers should have checked with all sub-contractors ahead of adding to their supply chain to ensure they did not submit a proposal as a Lead Supplier for the same lot.
