Summary of the contracting process

The Department for International Development (DFID) recently completed a procurement process for the "DFID 7780 Impact Evaluation of the Climate Smart Agriculture Zambia Program Call Down Contract." The contract, valued at £999,630, focuses on providing evaluation services within the foreign economic aid sector, specifically targeting improvements in the livelihoods of poor farming communities in Zambia affected by climate change. The award was published on 30 October 2017, with the contract period running from 18 September 2017 to 17 March 2022. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, highlighting the planned and strategic nature of the process.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in impact evaluations, climate-smart agriculture, and related services, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Firms with experience in sustainable agricultural practices and resilience-building programmes would be especially well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature, contributing to enhanced food security and nutrition in vulnerable communities. The involvement of DFID further underscores the programme's potential for creating impactful and socially responsible business opportunities in the region.

Notice Title

DFID 7780 Impact Evaluation of the Climate Smart Agriculture Zambia Program Call Down Contract

Notice Description

The purpose of the programme is to help poor farming communities adapt to the impacts of climate change on their lives and livelihoods. Other benefits of the programme will include improved nutrition and food security. DFID would like to subject this programme to an evaluation to determine what impact it will have on the livelihoods and resilience of Zambian farming families who depend on rain fed agriculture, and why. Currently, the impact difference between conventional and conservation farming lacks a robust evidence base. The attached Business Case (flag A) provides details of anticipated programme impacts, outcomes and outputs, target groups, timescale, geographical coverage and the impact of the intervention on gender. This evaluation, therefore, will have strong value for money by both helping inform future DFID programming, as well as similarly-designed programmes in Zambia and the Southern Africa region.
