What is being bought

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is developing a business case for a seven-year economic governance programme in Pakistan, titled Reforms for Growth in Pakistan (RFG). RFG aims to build on the significant progress on economic reforms achieved over the past three years through predecessor programmes, capitalising on proven ways of working for this long-term agenda. RFG will use agile technical assistance, policy-driven research and economic diplomacy to support reforms to foundational federal and provincial fiscal policies, as well as policies that improve the business environment. It will focus on building institutions, to ensure sustainability after the end of the programme. This is ODA programme designed to provide agile, flexible and adaptive technical assistance and research support to the federal government, with support to the provincial governments of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh. The programme will primarily be funded through Resource-DEL (RDEL), with a Capital-DEL (CDEL) component. The programme will focus on achieving outcomes in the following areas: • Fiscal foundations for Growth • Business environment reform Please note that information provided is tentative and may change with the design of business case without any prior notice. The route to market is currently under development. FCDO will undertake an Early Market Engagement (EME) to inform the commercial approach, with a separate notice providing further details of the EME to be published shortly.

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 751,6743 median · 35.1 average (529 of 1,674 with a bid count)3.2 average (640 of 1,674 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.
