b)	Development and improved management of supplier base
c)	Access to niche/specialist skills
d)	Shortened timescales for call-down process due to pre-qualification of suppliers
e)	Improved Management Information for managing framework and supplier base e.g., tracking bidding patterns and recurring issues to improve competition 

This Framework Agreement will enable FCDO to access advice, expertise and delivery capacity in a cost efficient and effective manner across multiple thematic areas. It will enable FCDO to commission multi-disciplinary teams of quality professionals to design, manage and deliver international development programme services with greater agility and innovation whilst maintaining fair competition.
