Description

Early Market Engagement (EME): This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) only for an Early Market Engagement (EME) for information to the market on FCDO’s BSIP programme. The PIN which has been published is not a call for competition or tender at this time, it is an information notice to highlight to the market the intent to have a virtual EME event on Wednesday, 2nd February 2022 from 14:00 to 16:00 UK Time. Programme Objective: BSIP (formerly known as the Developing Markets Infrastructure Programme or DMIP) will support predominately low- / lower middle- income country governments to prepare, procure and finance high-quality, development-focussed sovereign-backed infrastructure projects. BSIP will provide grants and technical assistance to enable governments to borrow at concessional rates for infrastructure projects, where they are not able to do so commercially, or where they clearly require concessional finance to support their national climate plans. It will work alongside loans from commercially-priced sources, including UK Export Finance, helping to level the playing field for partner governments to procure high quality, sustainable infrastructure development.
