What is being bought

2.1 ICF is one of the largest and most complex UK government Official Development Assistance (ODA) portfolios. ICF Phase 2 was £5.8bn from 2015/16 to 2020/21, the current ICF Phase 3 target is £11.6bn from 2021/22 to 2025/26 and a future ICF Phase 4 from 2026/27. Strategic portfolio-level MEL is needed for complex portfolios such as ICF that combine policy, programme and non-programme work and that interact with other FCDO teams, and other government departments.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 75. The category anchor is Foreign economic-aid-related services (75211200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 751,1293 median · 47.9 average (305 of 1,129 with a bid count)3.4 average (386 of 1,129 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
