## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) is currently conducting a selective procurement process for the Tax Systems Transformation Programme (TSTP) contract, which aims to assist the Ethiopian Government in increasing tax revenues to 17.2% of GDP. The tender, titled "DFID 8325 (formerly 8129) Tax Systems Transformation Programme Contract Notice," was published on 25 June 2018 and is set to close on 25 July 2018. The contract has an estimated value of £41,500,000 and falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 12 January 2019 and conclude on 11 January 2024, with delivery addresses covering various locations, including the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses aiming to contribute to the improvement of tax systems in Ethiopia, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in economic aid, taxation, compliance, and service delivery are highly suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The programme has three linked outcomes: 1) An equitable and business friendly tax environment 2) Improved voluntary compliance 3) Increased GoE revenues Together these contribute to the impact: GoE is capable of a self-financed exit from poverty. Management of the Accelerated Delivery component of TSTP will consist of three linked sub-components spanning ERCA, MoFEC and the PMO: a) The Tax Transformation Office (TTO), b) The Prime Minister's Delivery Unit (PMDU), and c) technical inputs.
