Ongoing FCO and DFID procurement The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) unites development and diplomacy in a single department that brings together the UK’s international effort. The FCDO is currently aligning commercial processes and procedures following the merger of the Department for International Development (DFID) and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). This page will be updated as changes are made. Existing contracts and agreements For now, all existing contracts made under UK law with DFID or FCO remain valid. There is no need to novate or amend those contracts and the contractual terms remain unaltered. Similarly, existing grant funding agreements remain valid and will continue without amendment. If there is an agreement under foreign law which may require revision, we will deal with this on a case-by-case basis following local (foreign) law.
