## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has awarded a contract titled "DFID 8505 Extreme Poverty - building evidence for effective action (Ex Pov)," focusing on foreign economic-aid-related services.

Businesses with expertise in data collection, impact evaluation, and policy analysis will be well-suited to compete for future opportunities arising from this initiative.
