Consultancy Opportunities

From 1 April 2001, all UK development assistance has been fully untied, which allows suppliers from anywhere in the world to bid for DFID contracts. In line with EU Procurement Directives, DFID is required to advertise all activities expected to exceed the current threshold of £90,319 by placing a Contract Notice in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Communities (OJEC). Exceptions to these requirements include emergency relief and legal projects.

• Current contract notices
• Details of shortlisted suppliers(25 kb) recently invited to tender for DFID projects
• A list of current Frameworks(60 kb)
• Details of contracts let in the last three calendar years
• Information about certain contract opportunities not administered by Procurement Group
