This project falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and is based in the United Kingdom with a contract value of approximately £1,299,531.60. The tender process utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a competitive dialogue above threshold. The contract period commenced on 10th October 2016 and extends until 30th April 2019, with the tender period having ended on 13th May 2016. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in climate information systems and communication, particularly those with expertise in adaptive social protection systems. Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this tender particularly well-suited for their capabilities. By offering embedded consultancy and cooperation with regional institutions, businesses can engage in a project that not only enhances their market presence but also contributes positively to resilience in the Sahel region, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and further contracts in related fields. ## Notice The technical assistance is being designed to improve the multilateral and regional approaches to resilience in the Sahel, improve the coordination between actors, and improve the capacity of governments to design, implement, and evaluate adaptive social protection systems. The technical assistance will support regional institutions to improve the climate information systems and the use of this information to test the design and flexibility of the social protection systems and to provide early warning triggers for this flex. The technical assistance will also help ensure that programme interventions are stress tested against future climate scenarios, leading to adaptive social protection systems that are supporting sustainable livelihoods in the long term and not incentivising households to remain in locations or livelihoods that are increasingly untenable with the changing climate. This procurement project is for climate information system and communication expertise. The supplier will be contracted for up to 3 years and is expected to provide at least one embedded consultant working with a high level counterpart at a regional institution (to be determined in inception phase). For example this could potentially be at the CILSS (Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought control in the Sahel) specialized agency, Agrhymet , in Niamey, Niger, at the African Centre of Meteorological Application for Development (ACMAD ) also in Niamey - or in partnership with two institutions. It is envisaged that the embedded consultant would be supported by a number of deep specialists who would provide support through short term inputs and research fellows. The embedded consultant would also be able to provide small, strategic grants to enable stakeholders to work together to address challenges. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a2b44a8b-b98b-4545-a809-490a1941afd0 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive dialogue (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 13 May 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Oct 2016 | | Contract period | 9 Oct 2016 - 30 Apr 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,299,531 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £1,299,531 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT | | Locality | EAST KILBRIDE | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G75 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | East Kilbride West | | Westminster constituency | East Kilbride and Strathaven | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE MET OFFICE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services ## Release History - 31 Jan 2018 at 15:45 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a2b44a8b-b98b-4545-a809-490a1941afd0 - 31 Dec 2016 at 15:52 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a2b44a8b-b98b-4545-a809-490a1941afd0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a2b44a8b-b98b-4545-a809-490a1941afd0 31st January 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/65ea19c6-6a12-47f7-aefc-4a8296a837f8 DFID 7140 Contract Section 1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/caa5fcb5-9e39-4b1a-9996-724afb77edb3 DFID 7140 Contract Section 2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7b450b98-6b9d-49ca-87b0-ed8919179bd0 DFID 7140 Contract Section 3 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
