This project aims to enhance the effectiveness of UK investments in fragile and conflict-affected situations, providing essential real-time data and research to inform policy and operations. The contract commenced on 4th May 2020 and extends until 31st March 2025. The procurement process employed a selective method under a restricted procedure and was initially planned to conclude the tender period by 15th August 2019. This contract presents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in foreign economic-aid-related services, particularly those experienced in conflict resolution and research methodologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to explore collaborative ventures, as their innovative approaches may align well with the programme's objectives. Businesses that can provide timely data and nuanced insights into fragile contexts will find this procurement process particularly well-suited to their capabilities, supporting them in expanding their involvement in international development projects. ## Notice The objective of the programme is to improve the effectiveness of HMG investments in fragile and conflict affected situations (FCAS), by providing real-time data, expertise and public good research to inform DFID and Whitehall policy and operations including through the Whitehall Conflict Security and Stability Fund (CSSF) and DFID programmes.
