## Summary

The public procurement process pertains to the Department for International Development (DFID) which aims to secure a service provider for the Humanitarian Emergency Response Operations and Stabilisation Programme (HEROS). This selective tender, classified under the CPV code for foreign economic aid-related services, has a contract value of £330,000,000 and is designed to transition from the existing service framework set to expire on 30th April 2017. The tender period concluded on 8th May 2017, while the contract is scheduled to commence on 12th July 2017, lasting until 31st October 2022. The primary locations for delivery include the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and various regions across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in humanitarian response management, logistics, and operational capabilities. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as they can provide innovative solutions and agility necessary for effective emergency response. Firms with expertise in procurement, logistics, and infrastructure support, especially those capable of managing crisis situations and chronic emergencies, would be well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The Department for International Development (DFID) and the Stabilisation Unit (SU) have outsourced some of their emergency response and operations capability since the early 1990s. The current Humanitarian and Emergency Operations Support Service (HEOSS) contract is due to end on 30th April 2017, and will be extended until 31st October 2017 to allow this tender process to complete, and a suitable transition from HEOSS to Humanitarian Emergency Response, Operations and Stabilisation Programme (HEROS). DFID and the SU, as the joint beneficiaries of this contract, are now seeking to appoint a service provider to deliver HEROS. There are three overarching objectives of this programme: 1. Humanitarian emergency response management for rapid onset response, protracted crises, chronic emergencies and humanitarian reform (DFID only) 2. Operational capability and deployments (DFID and SU) 3. Procurement, logistics and infrastructure expertise and operational capability (DFID and SU)
