## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) is planning a tender titled "Understanding knowledge systems and what works to promote science technology and innovation in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda." This procurement falls within the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and is set to take place primarily in the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, among other locations. The planned budget for this initiative is £650,000, covering the fiscal period from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2018. DFID aims to publish the opportunity on 15th May 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 28th December 2017 and conclude on 31st December 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), looking to expand in the field of research and development. Interested organisations that specialise in knowledge systems, science, technology, and innovation strategies in the specified regions could find this an advantageous opportunity to collaborate with DFID and contribute to enhancing the impact of government and external investments in these areas.

## Notice

DFID intends to publish a new opportunity in early 2017 through an Open Competition for a research study to understand national knowledge systems. The objective of the research is to identify practical areas for change to enhance the impact of government and external investments in science, technology and innovation. DFID would like to fund this study, working in technical collaboration with the Science Granting Councils of Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda.
