## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has awarded the contract titled "DFID 8068 Implementation of the Malawi Oil Seeds Transformation Programme (MOST) - Call Down Contract" for foreign economic-aid-related services. The contract, valued at £1,389,300, is being executed over a period of 10 months, running from 23 November 2017 to 31 August 2018. The procurement process was selective and involved a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender submission period ending on 21 September 2017. This initiative aims to enhance various market functions and value chains, particularly focusing on low-income populations in the UK and overseas territories, alongside a strong emphasis on gender inclusivity.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), adept at delivering services associated with economic development and innovative business models. Companies engaged in entrepreneurship development or those capable of providing tangible support to underserved populations will find this procurement particularly relevant for fostering business growth. The emphasis on demonstrating value for money and effective management processes makes an efficient operational capability essential for potential bidders.

## Notice

With a budget of up to PS1,389,300 the proposed 10 months will provide intensive support to a range of market functions and value chains in the selected sectors, support entrepreneurship development and enterprise innovation, stimulate private sector provision of services and promote innovative and inclusive business models which have the potential to reach a large number of low-income women and men, using a suitable methodology to achieve that scale. The gender dimension will continue to constitute an important objective of the programme. The budget includes all activities under the programme i.e. administrative and management costs and grant disbursements. The TSP will develop a detailed budget, 10 month implementation business plan, a logical framework and a risk matrix with mitigation strategies. MOST has developed a robust and comprehensive results management system which is DCED audited. The TSP is required to build on this framework for effective capturing of programme outcomes and impacts. The TSP is required to demonstrate strong value for money at each stage of the implementation process. They will demonstrate that administrative costs are efficient, that management processes are designed to maximise cost effectiveness; and that funds can be allocated based on evidence of results to ensure the greatest possible impact is achieved. A clear process for measuring value for money will be included within the monitoring framework.
