Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine procured consultancy to strengthen capacity within national disease-control programmes in low- and middle-income countries. The work supports the GAMBIT project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including implementation of capacity-strengthening initiatives, development of data-collection methods, and collection and analysis of qualitative data. The consultant is expected to build strong relationships, work mainly remotely and attend some meetings in the DRC. Fluent French is essential because the project is implemented there. The services are classified as evaluation, research and general management consultancy. Delivery locations are the United Kingdom and France, with project-related meetings in the DRC. The buyer is Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, based in Liverpool.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. It had one lot, assessed on 60% quality and 40% price, and was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One bid was received, with no SME or VCSE final-stage bids. Nadia Fazal was awarded the contract on 3 September 2026 for £98,000 excluding VAT, or £117,600 including VAT. The awarded contract period is 14 September 2026 to 31 May 2028. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 5pm, and the enquiry deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. A contract signature was scheduled for 11 September 2026. Electronic submission was allowed.

This award signals demand from Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine for specialist capacity-strengthening consultancy linked to disease-control programmes in low- and middle-income countries. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience implementing capacity-strengthening initiatives within national programmes, alongside the ability to design data-collection methods and collect and analyse qualitative data. Fluent French is central to the requirement, as is the ability to build effective working relationships with partners in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Suppliers should be able to deliver predominantly remote consultancy while supporting occasional international meetings. The evaluation outcome also shows that quality was more important than price, so evidence of relevant technical delivery, research capability and relationship management would be important when this buyer next needs comparable expertise.

The purpose of this project is to seek a consultant with demonstrable experience of implementation of capacity strengthening initiatives within the context of national disease control programmes in LMICs. The consultant should have experience of development of data collection methods and experience of collecting and analysing qualitative data. While there will be some opportunities to travel to DRC for in-person meetings with PNLTHA, most of the work will be done remotely and will require strong relationship building skills. The GAMBIT project is implemented in DRC and therefore it is essential that the consultant can speak fluent French.
