Notice Information

Notice Title

DFID 8048 Transparency and Accountability to Improve Economic Development and Service Delivery (TRACTION) - MALAWI Contract Notice

Notice Description

DFID Malawi has designed a new five year (2018-2023) TRACTION programme that seeks to address specific problems that are severely hindering economic growth and undermining service delivery. DFID therefore seeks to appoint an appropriately qualified Supplier to manage and deliver component 1 - Issue Based Programme (IBP). This component will represent a significant change in DFID's approach to tackling the underlying constraints to development in Malawi. It will be both explicitly more political in approach, and more integrated with the rest of the DFID portfolio. It will tackle specific problems where it is expected that material results for poor people can be achieved in the shorter-term and where changes in the way things function (institutional changes) can be achieved in the longer term. Additional information: All relevant information relating to this Contract Notice can be found on the DFID Supplier Portal where suppliers can register their interest directly. If you are not already registered as a supplier on the DFID Supplier Portal please follow the guidance which can be found on the top left of the home page: https://supplierportal.dfid.gov.uk/selfservice/
