## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has recently finalised the amendment to the DFID 7195 contract titled "Agriculture Policy Research in Africa (APRA)." This procurement, categorised under foreign economic-aid-related services, includes a revised financial commitment of £1,346,645 to enhance programme monitoring efforts. The contract began on 1 June 2016 and is set to expire on 31 May 2021. This contract amendment process is currently in the Award stage, with the announcement published on 1 May 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) well-versed in economic aid and agricultural research. Companies capable of delivering innovative programme monitoring solutions and demonstrating proficiency in policy research will find themselves well-positioned to compete for future contracts stemming from this initiative. Engaging in this sector could foster growth through collaborative efforts with the DFID and other stakeholders in international development.

## Notice

These amendments relate to an increase to the financial limit of the contract to allow additional work in programme monitoring through the development of an integrated approach to programme monitoring, review and learning and the inclusion of additional Terms of Reference which covers the additional work. The Schedule of Prices has been revised accordingly.
