## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) is managing a procurement process involving the DFID 6527 Zimbabwe Livelihoods and Food Security Programme, specifically regarding Contract Amendment No. 5. This process relates to a "Nil Cost" four-week extension which was necessitated while a proposed twelve-month extension is reviewed. The procurement is classified under foreign economic-aid-related services and falls under the services category. The current procurement stage is the award phase, which was formally acknowledged on 30 July 2014, with the latest update published on 20 October 2017.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses that are capable of providing foreign economic-aid-related services, particularly those focused on livelihood and food security initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially those with proven expertise in delivering value for money in similar programmes. By engaging in this type of work, businesses can expand their portfolio and contribute positively to development objectives in Zimbabwe and beyond.

## Notice

Contract Amendment No.5 This amendment relates to a short term "Nil Cost" four week extension of time only, to provide contractual cover while the proposed twelve month extension is reviewed by Ministers (as confirmed and agreed in email dated 28/07/2017) in accordance with the PO6527 Terms and Conditions. Any subsequent progression to the twelve month extension period is dependent upon supplier performance, continued demonstration of VfM and the requisite DFID approval process. If the submission is not approved by SoS, associated staffing costs incurred for the interim period may be reconciled with identified programme underspend, any such costs will be fully substantiated and approved by the Programme Team accordingly. All other Terms and Conditions of this contract remain unchanged.
