Summary of the contracting process

The Department for International Development (DFID) is seeking to enhance economic opportunities through the DFID 7890 Subsidised Temporary Employment Programme (STEP) contract, valued at £14,074,196. This procurement falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and is currently in the award stage, having been publicly announced on 23 January 2018. The contract is intended to run from 21 December 2017 to 30 September 2020, and it primarily targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aimed at creating jobs for low-skilled Lebanese workers and temporary jobs for Syrian refugees. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure due to its above-threshold value, with the tender period having ended on 18 May 2017.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can expand their operations to deliver services that align with the STEP objectives. Businesses that specialise in employment creation, capacity building, and offer business development services will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies with experience in working with refugee populations and low-skilled workers can leverage their expertise to contribute to the programme's success, ultimately fostering economic growth in the region.
