This initiative, classified under foreign economic-aid-related services, has a total contract value of £15,300,000. The tender period ends on 10 July 2018, and the contract is set to commence on 9 January 2019, extending through to 8 January 2024. This competitive procedure with negotiation is aimed at issues significantly impeding economic growth and service delivery in Malawi. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for service providers focused on international development, particularly those with expertise in economic aid and governance improvement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the DFID may seek innovative approaches from diverse suppliers. Companies that can demonstrate effective management of development programmes within the context of Malawi’s socio-economic landscape will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice DFID Malawi has designed a new five year (2018-2023) TRACTION programme that seeks to address specific problems that are severely hindering economic growth and undermining service delivery. DFID therefore seeks to appoint an appropriately qualified Supplier to manage and deliver component 1 - Issue Based Programme (IBP). This component will represent a significant change in DFID's approach to tackling the underlying constraints to development in Malawi. It will be both explicitly more political in approach, and more integrated with the rest of the DFID portfolio. It will tackle specific problems where it is expected that material results for poor people can be achieved in the shorter-term and where changes in the way things function (institutional changes) can be achieved in the longer term.
