Tender description

A contract for the management of two sets of dialogues for British Embassy Kathmandu (BEK): 1) The "Horizons" series: The supplier will facilitate a series of seminars. This work will act as a 'soft power' lever, demonstrating the UK as a thought leader by convening relevant stakeholders from Nepal and the international community to deliver cutting edge analysis of topics critical to Nepal's future. Five thematic 'dialogue' events will be hosted every two months by British Embassy Kathmandu, culminating in a two-day workshop). 2) Partner Dialogues: The supplier will facilitate roundtable discussions with Nepal development programme partners to deliver portfolio coherence and collaborative learning and adaptation across portfolio themes at BEK. The Partners Dialogues will be central to 'onboarding' implementing partners and delivering stronger portfolio impacts and greater VFM (identifying what's not working and ensuring the dialogues help solve problems, build consensus on ways of working, and support evidence-based decision making on portfolio priorities).
