Description

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) intends to procure a Development Advisory Framework (DAF) to succeed the existing Evaluation and Advisory Consultancy and Delivery Services 2 (EACDS2) Framework. The DAF is expected to provide access to a range of suitably qualified advisory, analytical and professional services to support the design and development of FCDO’s international development portfolio, including but not limited to, scoping studies, business case development and input into new and innovative thinking across the range of FCDO priorities. The framework is expected to be accessible across FCDO and potentially other UK Government departments using ODA and Non-ODA funds.
