What is being bought
This notice is to advise of a variation to the current contract for the provision of services to deliver Trade and Investment Advocacy Fund (TAF2 Plus). The contract commenced on 22 February 2017 and was due for the expiry on 22 February 2025. FCDO plans to extend the contract to 30 June 2025. The contract will be extended under the provisions of Regulation 72 (b) (ii) and cover provision of services by the original contractor that have become necessary in order to spend the remaining contract budget and where a change of contractor would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority. This will be time only (no additional costs) extension.
