This procurement process is currently active, classified under foreign economic-aid-related services, and follows an open procedure. The deadline for tender submissions is set for 13th February 2015, with the contract period commencing on 13th October 2015 and concluding on 13th October 2018. This opportunity is based in East Kilbride, Scotland, with a minimum contract value of £170,735 and a total estimated value of £718,045. This tender presents a significant opportunity for firms specialising in project management consultancy services, particularly those with experience in international development and economic policy research. Businesses that have established networks within African markets and are adept at fostering partnerships with governmental and civil society stakeholders in South Africa may find themselves particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this process could enhance their portfolio while contributing to meaningful economic growth initiatives and policy development efforts on a global scale. ## Notice 'DFID is planning to provide a new programme of support to South African partner organisations for research on a range of issues linked to global economic governance. This reflects the UK's ongoing policy priority to work with new actors on international development, including South Africa, to promote a better, more effective international and multilateral development system. It recognises that effective global economic governance is an essential part of eradicating global poverty. DFID's investment in this area over the last 2 years has aimed to strengthen the voices of those with the greatest stake in effective pro-poor economic governance, including in the G20, the BRICS and other international fora. It has done so through generating new research relating to the global economic governance agenda, including rigorous analysis of policy options from an African perspective; facilitating new dialogue around this agenda between African policymakers, civil society and academia; and supporting a media and outreach programme to help inform effective policymaking and hold governments to account for the commitments they have made. A new phase of this work will build on these successes and focus clearly on the issues which have most potential to contribute to the achievement of a post-2015 development agenda, and which require innovative action to reach better solutions through regional and global fora. These may include research, dialogues and outreach on issues including global trade policy to support an open international trading system; the conditions for regional economic growth in Africa; improving domestic revenue mobilisation to support development; ensuring global financial regulation supports development in low income countries; and international action to help protect countries against financial and other shocks. The scope of the programme is currently being defined. Once selected, an implementing partner will have a major role in helping set the scope of the work and ensuring it represents the needs and interests of stakeholders including the Government of South Africa, other civil society and academic partners in the region, African and global business leaders, and other G20 members including the UK. It will be essential that such a programme be based on a partnership with an institution or institutions best placed to supply international-level expertise in this field, and with excellent existing relationships with relevant stakeholders.' ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18e704b4-d9e7-442e-9d54-ed711993a882 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 13 Feb 2015 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Oct 2015 - 13 Oct 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £718,045 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROCUREMENT | | Locality | N/A | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G75 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | East Kilbride West | | Westminster constituency | East Kilbride and Strathaven | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18e704b4-d9e7-442e-9d54-ed711993a882 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/18e704b4-d9e7-442e-9d54-ed711993a882 10th February 2015 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
