Opportunity overview

The UK’s Global Mine Action Programme 3 (GMAP3) has been tackling the threat of landmines and other explosive remnants of war since 2022. The final extension period of GMAP3 will run to 31 March 2027. The next iteration of GMAP - GMAP4 – should commence from 1 April 2027, and run for at least two years. The UK is exploring the option to launch three-year project with a budget of up to £5,000,000 under GMAP3/4 for mine action activities in Sudan, to begin during 2026 and end on 31st March 2029, subject to approval of the GMAP4 business case. The project would run as a close collaboration between the British Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office’s (FCDO) GMAP team and FCDO’s British Office Sudan. Potential activities may include: - Land survey and clearance. - Deployment of rapid response EOD teams. - The provision of Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE). - Capacity building of local operators PLEASE NOTE: The delivery route for the multi-year Sudan project (i.e. via a grant or a contract) has not yet been determined. A multi-year Sudan project would form part of GMAP’s broader project portfolio. Several current GMAP projects have been extended to run until 31 March 2027. Procurement processes and early market engagement for new projects beginning from April 2027 will take place in the coming months, subject to approval of the GMAP4 business case.
