Description
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is looking to engage with prospective suppliers for the Security and Resilience Framework and is seeking feedback from the market through a structured period of market engagement. This engagement is intended to help refine the framework requirements, test market capability and capacity, and support suppliers’ understanding of the proposed procurement process before formal supplier selection begins. The market engagement will be structured as follows: Stage 1 - Initial engagement survey on framework thematics and engagement process The Authority will publish initial framework thematics and supporting information through Jaggaer. Suppliers will be invited to review the material and provide feedback through a questionnaire, which may be issued directly through the PQQ or by way of a linked Microsoft Form. This stage will gather market insight on capability, risks, potential barriers and the proposed engagement process. Stage 2 - Supplier one-to-one meetings Subject to Authority resource and the level of supplier interest, suppliers may be invited to attend online one-to-one sessions. These sessions will provide suppliers with an opportunity to share detailed feedback on the proposed framework, explain relevant capability, and suggest alternative delivery approaches for the Authority to consider. The Authority will not provide answers to supplier questions during these meetings. Questions will be recorded and, where appropriate, responses will be shared through the clarification process with all suppliers, except where information is commercially sensitive. Stage 3 - Full Terms of Reference engagement The Authority will issue the full draft Terms of Reference pack, including information on the proposed call-off process. Suppliers will be invited to review the material and provide feedback through a further questionnaire. Feedback received will be used to inform the finalisation of the requirement, procurement documentation and evaluation approach. Stage 4 - Full Invitation to Tender pack, terms and conditions, and evaluation methodology The Authority will share the draft Invitation to Tender pack through Jaggaer, including the proposed terms and conditions and evaluation methodology. This stage is intended to give suppliers early sight of the proposed tender documentation and to support informed engagement before the formal competition is launched. No questionnaire is currently expected to accompany this stage, although the Authority may use the later engagement event to seek feedback on specific points. Stage 5 - Market engagement event Suppliers will be invited to attend an online market engagement event. The event will provide an opportunity for the Authority to explain the proposed framework design, procurement process and key decisions made following earlier market engagement. Suppliers may be invited to consider questions in advance and raise questions during the session. A written record of the session, including responses to supplier questions where appropriate, will be shared following the event. Registering for Engagement Suppliers wishing to participate in this market engagement must access the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s eSourcing portal (Jaggaer), where the engagement opportunity and related materials will be made available. Suppliers can access the portal via https://fcdo.bravosolution.co.uk Suppliers who are not already registered should complete the registration process by selecting the registration option on the portal homepage and following the instructions provided. Once registered and logged in, suppliers should locate PQQ_2078 – Security and Resilience Framework Market Engagement under PQQs Open to All Supplier, and select Express Interest to gain access to the engagement materials under the Buyers attachment tab Any supplier questions relating to this engagement must be submitted through the Jaggaer messaging facility. Responses will be managed through the Authority's clarification process and, where appropriate, shared with all suppliers to ensure a fair and transparent engagement process. The market engagement process is intended solely to inform the Authority's future procurement strategy and documentation. Participation in market engagement does not constitute participation in any future procurement process and does not place any obligation on the Authority to proceed with the procurement.
