## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has completed an amendment to the contract titled "DFID 7578 Ethiopian Investment Advisory Facility Contract Amendment No 2". This procurement process falls within the foreign economic-aid-related services category and took place in Scotland. The contract, valued at £2,470,000, primarily involved logistics support related to COVID-19, ensuring the supply and distribution of essential health supplies and services. The initial tender period concluded on 14 September 2015, while the contract period commenced on 18 July 2016 and will conclude on 16 July 2021. This procurement followed an open procedure, allowing a broader pool of participants to engage in the contracting process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that offer logistics and advisory services. Companies experienced in securing and distributing essential goods or providing health supply chain solutions would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. As the focus remains on safeguarding logistics and essential services amid ongoing challenges, businesses in these sectors may find further opportunities to expand their participation in public procurement aimed at crisis management and economic resilience.
