## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Mott MacDonald Limited involves the Request for Proposal (RFP) No. IFB/MMB/04/02/2021 for sourcing five vehicles to support the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) programme aimed at enhancing mathematics teaching in Malawi. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically "Motor vehicles" (CPV code 34100000), and is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 23rd February 2021 at 1:00 PM (UTC). The total estimated value of the contract is £150,000, with a minimum bid value of £75,000. The vehicles, which include three saloon and two four-wheel-drive vehicles, will be delivered to an address in the East of England.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialised in vehicle supply, particularly those that can provide reliable and robust off-road vehicles suitable for the challenging terrains of Malawi. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the procurement is designed to be inclusive and supports smaller firms. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in providing motor vehicles for challenging operational requirements will be especially well-suited to compete in this tender.

## Notice

Mott MacDonald Limited has been appointed by the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) - formerly DFID, to deliver the Strengthening the Teaching of Primary School Mathematics in Malawi programme. The programme will provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) to help improve the quality of mathematics teaching in lower primary schools nationwide. Delivery of this programme requires mobility of personnel throughout Malawi, including remote areas accessible only by traversing unmade roads and other rough terrain. This requires both saloon vehicles and robust, reliable four-wheel-drive vehicles suited to off-road use. The Company wishes to purchase three saloon vehicles and two four-wheel-drive vehicles to supplement our fleet. Further information and instructions to potential suppliers can be found in the attached Request for Proposal (RFP) document.
