This contract aims to enhance educational infrastructure and quality in Malawi, particularly addressing the completion of construction at around 48 primary school sites that have faced delays due to financial constraints by the Government of Malawi. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, with the tender period concluded on 24th July 2015. The contract was awarded on 13th November 2015, with an effective contract period from 30th November 2015 until 21st February 2018. This opportunity holds potential for businesses specialising in educational services, construction, and infrastructure development, particularly those that are small or voluntary sector organisations, as indicated by the procurement's suitability criteria. Companies with experience in managing contracts related to international development or foreign economic aid-related services may find this contract especially aligned with their capabilities. Engaging with this project could allow such businesses to expand their portfolio in the education sector and strengthen relationships with governmental organisations. ## Notice Since 2010 primary school construction at approximately 48 sites remains incomplete due to the inability of Government of Malawi (GoM) to pay contractors because of institutional and bureaucratic constraints which undermined the success of the pooled fund. Much of the construction was tendered under DFID's previous Education Sector Support Programme (ESSP) and handed over to Education Infrastructure Management Unit (EIMU) at the start of 2010 when the pool became operational and DFID's Programme Implementation Unit (PIU) closed. The EIMU retained staff from DFID's PIU and therefore had strong technical capacity but was hampered by financial constraints of GoM. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62a79f6b-bf72-4a2e-aa44-7f8d8fc1be53 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jul 2015 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Nov 2015 | | Contract period | 30 Nov 2015 - 21 Feb 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £7,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £7,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT | | Locality | EAST KILBRIDE | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G75 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | East Kilbride West | | Westminster constituency | East Kilbride and Strathaven | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | IMC WORLDWIDE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services ## Release History - 31 Jan 2018 at 15:49 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62a79f6b-bf72-4a2e-aa44-7f8d8fc1be53 - 31 Dec 2016 at 07:39 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62a79f6b-bf72-4a2e-aa44-7f8d8fc1be53 - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/370a6412-26ba-45b1-b835-08130ba22093 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62a79f6b-bf72-4a2e-aa44-7f8d8fc1be53 31st January 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/370a6412-26ba-45b1-b835-08130ba22093 22nd June 2015 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/48277443-79c8-4795-8a6b-3e24caeb3a9e DFID 7139 Contract Notice - https://supplierportal.dfid.gov.uk/selfservice/pages/public/viewPublicNotice.cmd?bm90aWNlSWQ9NjMxMzA%3D DFID 7139 Contract Notice on DFID Supplier Portal - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d7b57d74-9713-4507-8ee2-22adb702bb35 DFID 7139 Contract Section 1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c0fd756a-6c53-4790-b3ce-e0553dca914e DFID 7139 Contract Section 2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fefc7284-c196-4663-9498-c03b90266234 DFID 7139 Contract Section 3 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development/about/procurement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
