## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has awarded the DFID 8036 Support for Economic Empowerment of Women and Girls (Sabaala) contract, focused on enhancing women's economic engagement in Nepal. This contract, valued at £19,743,767.74, was awarded on 17 July 2018 and will be active until 17 January 2024. The procurement process followed an open procedure, which allowed for broad participation, with the tender period ending on 6 September 2017. The contract falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services, delivered primarily to locations within the UK and internationally, including British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in gender empowerment, economic development, and social services. Companies with expertise in delivering programmes aimed at breaking down barriers for women and girls would be particularly well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as they are deemed suitable participants for this project, further expanding their potential for growth in the aid and development sector.

## Notice

The Programme will develop solutions to the structural barriers that prevent women and girls from engaging freely and productively in the economy. Sabalaa (meaning "powerful woman") will adopt a multidimensional approach to Women's Economic Empowerment and address: 1. Issues of access: to resources, assets and opportunities for women and girls across Nepal to participate and benefit from economic opportunities across all sectors. 2. Issues of agency: to create an environment in which women are perceived, both by themselves and by others, as having full ownership over their income, assets and the economic opportunities available to them.
