Original Tender Description

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) are exploring the option to procure a delivery partner/consortium who can lead our work on civil society and protection of civilians in Sudan for The Sudan Stability Programme (SSP). FCDO will be using market feedback from Preliminary Market Engagement (ME) activities to inform the design of the programme. Please note that the programme is subject to changes and approvals. The SSP is a new programme following on from the Sudan Stability and Growth Programme (SSGP), which aims to continue and deepen the UK’s conflict resolution and mitigation work previously delivered. With no permanent UK presence in Sudan and a rapidly evolving conflict environment, the SSP will support local civil society, strengthen civilian protection, and reinforce national and regional diplomatic efforts. Building the conditions for a national-level dialogue with engagement from civil actors.   The SSP’s key objectives are to: • Support grassroots civil society groups and local conflict management as means to promote social cohesion and mitigate protection risks.   • Strengthening local governance institutions and promoting inclusivity, particularly considering women and other marginalised groups. • Countering misinformation, disinformation and hate speech • Producing continual conflict and political analysis that informs programmatic interventions and a broader Thinking and Working Politically approach that supports diplomatic efforts. The SSP is expected to have an overall value of up to £39 million over five years, with this specific component expected to receive approximately £6 million annually. Subject to internal approval and funding confirmation, programme delivery is expected to begin in FY 2027. The EME session will be held on Wednesday 25th March 2026 from 11:00 - 13:00 (UK time). Location: Virtual EME session via Microsoft Team, joining instructions and slides ill be shared closer to the day. To register please use the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/3uWwwQXcgk Purpose of the EME: - Provide suppliers with an overview of the programme parameters, operating assumptions, and overarching theory of change, as well as the anticipated delivery approaches for working in a high risk, low access environment. - Introduce the indicative outcome areas and potential scope of partner activities, including expectations for partnerships and consortia arrangements. - Gather feedback from attendees to inform the design and development of the SSP Business Case and wider programme. FCDO is particularly seeking insights on operating risks in-country, and the feasibility of the proposed grant management approach. A set of targeted questions will be shared in advance of the session for suppliers to consider. Please Note: All information shared during the EME may be subject to change. The programme remains in its early design and development phase, and feedback from this session will play a critical role in shaping the final approach. Attendees are therefore encouraged to engage actively and demonstrate relevant expertise.

Tender Quality Score

This tender is in the planning stage, focusing on market engagement. It outlines a significant program with clear objectives and a substantial budget, but lacks detailed procurement procedures and evaluation criteria.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender is in the planning phase, indicated by 'Status: planning' and the focus on Preliminary Market Engagement (PME). While deadlines for the PME are provided, the actual procurement deadlines and procedures are not yet defined. The CPV code is appropriate. There are no indications of disputes or regulatory non-compliance at this stage. The provided submission deadline for the PME is August 3rd, 2026, which is reasonable for an engagement activity, but the actual tender submission deadline is not yet set.

Clarity80/100

The description of the Sudan Stability Programme (SSP) is clear, detailing its objectives, context, and expected outcomes. The AI-extracted requirements provide a good overview of the expected capabilities. However, the absence of specific evaluation criteria and a defined procurement procedure means the ultimate clarity for bidders on how they will be assessed is missing.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and CPV code are present. The description is detailed, and the PME session details are provided. However, crucial information regarding the actual procurement procedure, evaluation criteria, and full tender documents is missing as this is a planning notice. The value is stated in EUR and GBP, which could be clearer.

No document content available
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness85/100

The tender is in a preliminary market engagement phase, which is a fair practice to gather input. The value is disclosed, and the criteria for the PME are objective (gathering feedback). The use of an e-submission for the PME registration is positive. There are no obvious requirements tailored to specific companies, promoting a level playing field at this early stage.

Practicality65/100

The PME registration is practical via an online form. However, the tender itself is in planning, so e-submission for the actual tender is not yet applicable. The contract start date is specified, and financing information is implied through the estimated value. The duration is also provided. The lack of a defined procurement procedure and full documentation limits immediate practical application for bidding.

No e-submission (for actual tender)
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, organization, value, and dates are populated. The CPV code is present. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The dates provided (PME deadline, contract start) are logical within the context of a planning notice. The dual currency for value (£39 million and 30,000,000.00 EUR) is a minor inconsistency but understandable given the planning stage.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding in the provided text. The focus is on stability and conflict mitigation, which are important social objectives, but not framed as specific procurement criteria.

Not green procurement
No social criteria (explicitly stated)

Strengths

Clear program objectives and description
Substantial estimated value disclosed
Preliminary Market Engagement for input
Appropriate CPV code provided

Concerns

Missing actual procurement procedure and evaluation criteria
No full tender documents available (planning stage)
Lack of explicit sustainability or innovation focus

Recommendations

1. Clearly define and publish the procurement procedure and evaluation criteria when the tender is formally launched.
2. Ensure all tender documents are made available with sufficient lead time before the submission deadline.
3. Consider incorporating explicit sustainability and innovation criteria if aligned with program goals.
