The two frameworks in question are the International Multi-Disciplinary Programme (IMDP) and the Global Economic Development Framework (GEDF). The current plan is to combine them into a single framework with multiple thematic Lots – the International Multi-Disciplinary Framework (IMDF). The procurement is planned to commence in the coming months and we are seeking feedback on our planned approach. The new framework will be in place by early 2023 and will include suppliers who are able to meet the requirements of a wide variety of Programme thematics and objectives. This notice is being published to advertise a forthcoming market engagement exercise. The market engagement event (or a series of engagement events) will be held during March 2022. The market engagement exercise is open to all persons who are interested (or may be interested) in being part of the replacement for the IMDP & GEDF frameworks, and their supply chains. This includes existing market operators, potential new entrants and persons who may be interested in participating jointly through membership of a joint venture or consortium. The framework will be re-procured via the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's e-procurement portal: https://fcdo.bravosolution.co.uk. Suppliers, not currently registered on the portal, who are interested in being considered for this Framework Agreement must self-register on the site in order to participate — registration is free and instantaneous. Suppliers already registered on FCDO/Jaggaer will not need to re-register, but will need to complete the full suite of tender documents once issued to be considered for the new procurement framework. The contracting authority will consider the feedback received to help inform its options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this phase of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the contracting authority is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. 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. Suppliers wishing to attend the forthcoming market engagement events should register their interest by completing the registration form (https://bit.ly/3uOW37i). Please note that the value range stated is an estimate at this stage and will be finalised following further analysis and confirmed within the Contract Notice. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 75211200 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** Although the framework agreement is almost certainly going to be broken into Lots, these are under review and the Early Market Engagement Event will also allow the authority to explore this with potential suppliers.
