The contract, which is valued at £969,992, is classified under the foreign economic-aid-related services category and is aimed at enhancing the monitoring and operational research capabilities of the ongoing health support programme. The contract period commenced on 30 September 2019 and runs until 31 March 2021, with the procurement method being a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. This announcement was published on 8 October 2019, following the contract award effective from 24 September 2019. The tender process has now reached the award stage.

This tender presents opportunities for growth in the sectors of monitoring and evaluation, operational research, and consultancy services, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Businesses with expertise in high-quality reporting and evaluation, particularly those familiar with health systems in international contexts, would be well-placed to compete for similar future contracts. The engagement focuses on enhancing the capacity to address weaknesses found in programme delivery, thus allowing organisations dedicated to improving health outcomes in the DRC and similar regions to thrive.

## Notice
