This direct procurement, classified under foreign economic-aid-related services, is currently in the Award stage and was officially published on 14th November 2017. The contract period commenced on 4th September 2017 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2018. Delivery addresses include regions across the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, operational research, and public health implementation, particularly in fragile or post-conflict settings. Companies that focus on communicable disease control, such as malaria or tuberculosis, as well as those with expertise in socio-economic and behavioural factors relevant to health service delivery will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. The structure of this contract is conducive to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, encouraging diverse participation in this essential public health initiative. ## Notice The detailed design for the research will be done by the consortia as they develop their proposals and will form the scope of work. The research should provide new knowledge about how to deliver basic curative and preventative health services across different health care programmes. Operational research is particularly needed to inform and strengthen basic health services at the district and primary care level. We especially need more evidence on how to deliver and sustain services in fragile and post-conflict states, where systems are weak and governments less able to offer and sustain essential services. Research should also address the social, gender related, economic and behavioural factors behind successful programme implementation. We welcome a focus on health services for communicable disease control (e.g. malaria, TB and neglected tropical diseases) because these will remain a priority focus for DFID. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca057686-b3f0-4a17-8b81-6331ea37c147 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 8 Aug 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 2 Sep 2017 | | Contract period | 3 Sep 2017 - 31 Dec 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,000,000 | | 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 | UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services ## Release History - 14 Nov 2017 at 19:11 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca057686-b3f0-4a17-8b81-6331ea37c147 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca057686-b3f0-4a17-8b81-6331ea37c147 14th November 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/00c07454-a35c-4893-ac6e-9b8ec3b379bc DFID 8043 Contract Section 1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7ac1aefa-1a97-4688-a551-5592e7e1b074 DFID 8043 Contract Section 2 Terms & Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dd0be61d-ac9d-4e8d-bf37-1427425c25c1 DFID 8043 Contract Section 3 ToR ## 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.
