## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) has awarded the contract titled "DFID 8560 Stronger Health Partnerships for Stronger Health Systems" as part of its initiative to bolster health systems in developing countries. The contract, valued at £28,500,000, aims to enhance governance and service delivery for vulnerable populations and is classified under foreign economic aid-related services. The procurement process employed a selective (restricted) procedure, and while the tender period ended on 2 September 2019, the contract will remain active until 2 July 2023. This project spans multiple locations, including the British Overseas Territories and various regions within Europe.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health services, consultancy, and capacity building. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are well-placed to compete given the contract's focus on improving health systems and workforce skills. Firms with expertise in international development, healthcare management, or training initiatives may find this an advantageous avenue for expansion and collaboration within the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The programme aims to help developing countries build stronger and more resilient health systems and make progress towards universal health coverage through improved health service performance for poor and vulnerable populations. The programme will achieve this by supporting the development of stronger health systems, with better governance, information, standards and management of health systems and better skilled health workforces. This building of institutional capacity will help countries, where appropriate, to transition to different forms of external assistance and ultimately to reduce longer-term need for external support.
