This project focuses on foreign economic-aid-related services, particularly aimed at improving the safety and humanitarian support of migration along the Central Mediterranean Route. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a submission deadline of 3rd September 2018. The total contract value is estimated at £3 million, covering the period from 1st October 2018 to 31st March 2020, and the procurement method is an open procedure suitable for various suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in humanitarian support and migration-related services, including those from the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies capable of providing targeted research, monitoring, and evidence-based solutions in humanitarian contexts would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this opportunity could enable businesses to contribute to critical programmes while expanding their portfolio within the international development sector. ## Notice DFID's Safety, Support and Solutions Phase II (SSS II) programme is a new migration programme which aims to make migration safer and more orderly and provide critical humanitarian support, resulting in fewer deaths and less suffering along the Central Mediterranean Route. Over the period 2018-2020, DFID will allocate PS75 million worth of funding to specialist partners to deliver the programme. Formal agreements have been signed with IOM, UNICEF, British Red Cross, and a consortium of INGOs led by the Danish Refugee Council. Partners will take a route-based approach (working across fourteen countries of origin, transit and destination, of which nine are focus countries to be covered by this Terms of Reference) to respond to the complex needs of mixed migrant populations including refugees, asylum seekers, economic migrants and victims of trafficking in a wide range of countries along the Central Mediterranean Route.
