## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) is conducting a procurement process for the Anti-Corruption Evidence (ACE) Programme, with a contract value of £6,000,000. This project falls under the Foreign Affairs Services category and is aimed at generating new evidence to enhance anti-corruption initiatives in priority countries. The procurement method used is selective; it involves a negotiated procedure. The contract period is set to run from 15 August 2016 to 14 August 2021, with the tender period officially closing on 29 January 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on research and consultancy in anti-corruption and governance, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can contribute innovative solutions and evidence-based practices tailored to the needs of development programmes would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging with this procurement could also enhance a business's reputation and lead to further opportunities in the international development sector.

## Notice

Actual CPV code is '75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services'. Objectives The overall objective of the RPC programme is (to produce) new, operationally-relevant evidence on tackling corruption (which) supports more evidence based - and therefore effective - anti-corruption initiatives by DFID and its partners in a range of DFID priority countries. The Minister's vision for the programme is that success would be achieved if the new research builds a body of evidence, and directly identifies operational solutions that are then taken up in programmes. We expect RPC programme design and delivery to follow this vision.
