Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "EMPOWER - Strengthening access to Family Planning (FP) in the Private sector -- Familiarisation with the FCDO Tender Process Event." This process falls under the category of community service provision and will be conducted using an Open Procedure or Light Touch Regime (LTR), as per Section 7 Social and Other Specific Services of Chapter 3 Particular Procurement Regimes, Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015. The procurement is intended to benefit Uganda, focusing on urban and semi-urban areas, with a projected contract value of £3-3.5 million over four and a half years. Important deadlines include the completion of the Qualification Envelope for PQQ_1703 by 12 noon (BST) on 16 August 2024.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in the health services sector, particularly those experienced in providing family planning services. The programme aims to build the capacity of both Private for Profit (PFP) and Private-Not-For-Profit (PNFP) outlets to deliver these vital services affordably and sustainably. Businesses operating in Uganda and capable of contributing to the country's targeted modern Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (mCPR) while enhancing the share of service delivery funded beyond the Government of Uganda and donors are well-suited to compete. This procurement method encourages innovation and scalability of interventions that effectively address both demand and supply factors in the Family Planning market.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Please note that whist the Familiarisation with FCDO Tender Process session is planned in relation to the EMPOWER - Strengthening access to Family Planning in the Private Sector, Component 3, the event will not cover the requirements of the contract. Background information: Component 3 of the wider EMPOWER programme aims to contribute to creating a vibrant and self-sustaining private sector market for voluntary Family Planning (FP) services in Urban and Semi-urban areas. This will involve identifying the market segments that can pay for their services and building capacity of Private for Profit (PFP) and Private-Not-For-Profit (PNFP) outlets to provide these services affordably and sustainably. FCDO expects the private sector to play an increasing role in contributing to Uganda's targeted modern Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (mCPR) and to increase the share of FP service delivery covered by other funding sources beyond Government of Uganda (GOU)and donors, including, for example, out of pocket and health insurance. Potential interventions are expected to address both demand and supply factors, and the delivery partner(s) are expected to test and scale up the most appropriate interventions.
