The early engagement event is scheduled for 17th May 2022, aimed at discussing the necessary services and routes to market, with a deadline for engagement set for 13th May 2022. The procurement falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services, with attention given to the programme's objectives in promoting sustainable economic reforms. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those experienced in social protection programmes or those familiar with the complexities of delivering assistance in Jordan or similar contexts. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as their expertise could align well with the FCDO's aims for technical assistance and monitoring components within the programme.

The programme will expand contributory social insurance schemes which will allow more informal jobs to be formalised. It will also support an expansion of tax-financed social assistance schemes, seeking greater coherence between national systems and those supporting refugees to improve efficiency. Through this programme the UK will: 1. Create the space for necessary economic reforms and protect the most vulnerable - leading to enhanced societal and economic resilience. 2. Build GoJ's capability to implement a strengthened and sustainable social safety net system which supports the formalisation of the economy and prioritises gender sensitive and shock responsive components. 3. Promote greater alignment of humanitarian and development systems leading to efficiencies, sustainability and VFM. There are four main components to the SSERJ programme: 1) Technical assistance (TA) for systems strengthening 2) TA for policy development 3) Direct financial assistance (FA) for beneficiaries 4) Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) FCDO will procure a Managing Agent to deliver Technical Assistance components and support financial assistance (FA) work to the GoJ.
