## Summary

The public procurement contract, titled "DFID 7453 Distribution of Free Health Care Initiative Supplies in Sierra Leone - Contract Amendment No. 2," has been managed by the Department for International Development (DFID) in the industry of foreign economic-aid-related services. The procurement process is at the award stage, and the contract, valued at £1,213,532, commenced on 11 January 2016 and concluded on 30 November 2016. The tender period for this contract ended on 10 January 2016, with delivery addresses spanning British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and other global regions. This particular contract amendment falls under the category of goods, and DFID has not specified a unique procurement method for this instance.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health care supply and foreign aid services, particularly those that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector organisations (VCSEs). Enterprises that specialise in logistics, medical supplies, or humanitarian aid services could greatly benefit from engaging in similar tenders, especially those that align with DFID’s aims. The previous awarded contract was granted to Harvard University, indicating that competitive bids would need to meet high standards and possibly innovative approaches to secure future contracts in this space.
