## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) is issuing a tender for the "DFID 8179 Scaling Up Family Planning in Tanzania" programme, valued at £29,600,000. This initiative aims to enhance family planning services in Tanzania from June 2019 to June 2024, targeting critical groups such as young people, refugees, and individuals with disabilities. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 7 December 2018. This contract falls under the "Foreign economic-aid-related services" category and operates under a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure above threshold.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on providing health services, particularly in family planning and sexual health. Companies that specialise in public health initiatives, non-profit organisations, and social enterprises dedicated to enhancing health equity would be well-suited to participate. This programme not only provides a stable funding opportunity for service delivery but also aligns with Sustainable Development Goals, making it an attractive prospect for those looking to contribute to meaningful community health improvements in Tanzania.

## Notice

DFID is increasing support to family planning in Tanzania through the Scaling Up Family Planning in Tanzania programme over 5 years from 2019.

The programme will ensure inclusiveness and equity by reaching refugees, people with disabilities, young people and both rural and urban population. It will ensure that women are free to choose the number of children they want to have and when to have them. This is in line with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets 3.7 and 5.6.
