## Summary

The Department for International Development is launching a planned tender titled "GEC II", focused on foreign economic-aid-related services. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a total budget of £1,700,000 spanning from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018. The contract is set to begin on 2 February 2018 and conclude on 3 February 2020. Businesses may want to note that a future notice regarding this tender will be published on 19 June 2017.

This opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) aiming to contribute to the education sector. The tender seeks partners to support the education of up to 1.5 million marginalised girls, which opens avenues for businesses involved in education, training, and development services. Engaging with this project could not only drive business growth but also foster significant social impact.

## Notice

The Girls' Education Challenge Phase 2 will enable up to 1 million marginalised girls (currently supported through Phase 1 to continue to learn, complete primary school and transition on to secondary education. A further 500,000 highly marginalised adolescent girls, who are out of school, will also be targeted to gain literacy, numeracy and other skills relevant for life and work. It is estimated that at least 400,000 girls will complete junior secondary school in the first four years of the extension. The extension will build on what we have learnt so far in Phase 1 and further deepen global understanding of what works for girls' education, particularly during adolescence and in the transition from education to work.
