## Summary

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is currently overseeing the procurement titled "EHRC 1718-48 Elections and the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly in the Commonwealth." This project, classified under equal opportunities consultancy services, aims to engage experts to produce a report regarding human rights challenges surrounding elections in Commonwealth nations. The tender has a closing date of 15th November 2017, with the contract period expected to run from 27th November 2017 to 30th March 2018, based in various locations across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in human rights, social research, and consultancy services to expand their portfolios. Particularly, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) with expertise in international human rights issues and project management will find this procurement well-suited for their capabilities. The collaboration on this project may also lead to further partnerships within the Commonwealth context, enhancing reputations and opening doors for future contracts.

## Notice

We are looking for a suitably experienced contractor(s) with expert knowledge of international human rights issues to engage with members of the Commonwealth Forum of National Human Rights Institutions (CFNHRI) to produce a report on elections and the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly in the Commonwealth. The project will: * explore the challenges that are being faced by Commonwealth countries in relation to elections in the context of freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly; * use case studies to highlight how Commonwealth NHRIs have addressed these challenges; * produce a report which will support members of CFNHRI to fulfil their mandated activities; * be used to highlight the important role of NHRIs in promoting and protecting human rights. We welcome proposals that adopt a partnership approach. The successful contractor will be required to interview selected members in person, as far as possible. Therefore international travel is expected in the delivery of this project.
