## Summary

The procurement process titled "PROJ10045 Supporting the Africa-led Movement to End Female Genital Mutilation" is managed by the Department for International Development (DFID), based in East Kilbride, United Kingdom. This initiative falls under the industry category of foreign economic-aid-related services, aiming to utilize up to £35 million in funding to eliminate female genital mutilation (FGM) by 2030. The tender period for submissions ended on 29 November 2019, with the contract period running from 6 February 2020 to 5 February 2025. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, allowing various suppliers to submit bids for engaging in this significant humanitarian effort.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in social services, particularly those focused on women's rights and health advocacy. Organisations with expertise in community engagement, capacity building, and policy implementation would be especially well-suited to compete for the contract. SMEs and those with experience in implementing grassroots interventions may find this an advantageous opportunity, given DFID's emphasis on collaborating with grassroots organisations to effect change on the ground.

## Notice

In November 2018, DFID announced a new programme of up to PS35 million to support global efforts to end FGM. This will build on the foundations of DFID's first phase of investment in ending FGM (2013 - 2019). DFID has a vision of a world free from the practice of FGM by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. This programme will contribute to global efforts to achieve that vision through: i. Supporting and building the capacity of the Africa-led movement to end FGM at multiple levels and at scale (Lot 1), through: * The delivery of targeted interventions at community level, which will include a comprehensive, structured package of support to a set of communities to end the practice * The establishment of a small-grants mechanism to build the capacity and ability of grassroots women's and youth-led organisations and activists to lead change and hold governments to account in their own countries * Testing and developing best practice guidance on how to integrate ending FGM interventions into existing development programmes with significant grassroots reach, helping to reinforce ending FGM efforts at scale * The strategic use of media and campaigns to amplify and diffuse the process of change * Enhanced global advocacy to encourage more actors at different levels to help end FGM and increase the pace of change * Real-time monitoring and evaluation which allows the programme to respond quickly to learning as it progresses ii. Getting laws, policies and systems at multiple levels to work effectively to end FGM, (directly via UNICEF/UNFPA and WHO) by: * Helping to get laws and policies in place and implemented where they are still needed, with reference to international law and agreements * Supporting key sectors and government ministries (such as health, education and security and justice) to work effectively to end FGM iii. Fixing some of the global data challenges that are holding progress back (Lot 2), through: * In-depth analysis of existing data so global programming is strategic, evidence-based and has greatest possible impact * Improving ways to measure change in social attitudes and progress towards behaviour change, so we know in much quicker time which interventions are working
