The brief

The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is seeking a supplier who can support the British High Commission in Dhaka (BHCD) in its application of Thinking and Working Politically (TWP) methods to maximise its impact in Bangladesh.

The TWP Facility will support the UK’s objective of building state capacity in Bangladesh through modern partnerships.

The route to market stated in this notice is therefore subject to change.

FCDO cannot guarantee that interested suppliers will be eligible to participate in the route to market that is ultimately selected.
