Notice Information

Notice Title

DFID 8403 Syria Independent Monitoring (SIM) Scale Up Contract Award

Notice Description

The objective of the scale up is to strengthen independent monitoring in Syria for increased assurance and accountability. This is linked to a key recommendation by ICAI as part of their 2018 review of the DFID Syria portfolio. Activities led under the Syria Independent Monitoring contract ongoing since 2015 (hereafter called 'the current contract') already give DFID assurance and help to drive up the quality of projects in Syria. By increasing verification activities during the scale up period, DFID will be provided with greater assurance and the risk of fraud and aid diversion will be further mitigated. 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/
