## Summary

The procurement process for the "Rights, Inclusion, Voice and Agency (RIVA) Nepal" programme, conducted by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, has now reached the award stage. The procurement, initiated under the Global Development Delivery Framework's Lot 10, pertains to Education, Gender, and Social Inclusion, requiring business and management consultancy services. The awarded contract, valued at £1,998,093, covers a period from 18th June 2025 to 31st March 2028. It involves a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement, targeting various global locations including the United Kingdom, was awarded to Social Development Direct Limited, commencing on 18th June 2025 after the tender ended on 10th January 2025.

This tender presents a considerable opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services focused on capacity building and strategic learning, particularly within the spheres of education and gender inclusion. Companies adept at managing complex project frameworks, and capable of delivering strategic assistance and project evaluations, will find this procurement particularly fitting. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in developing technical specifications and handling comprehensive project management may find substantial growth potential by engaging in similar collaborative international development projects.
