## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) is conducting the DFID 8031 Monitoring Evaluation & Learning (MEL) contract for its resilience portfolio in Nepal. This service, categorized under foreign economic-aid-related services, aims to support DFID Nepal in tracking progress and performance against key objectives. The tender was awarded on 31 July 2017, and the contract period runs from 1 August 2017 to 31 January 2023. The procurement method employed is a selective procedure above the threshold, with a total contract value of £2,916,615 GBP.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in monitoring and evaluation, particularly those that can demonstrate expertise in disaster resilience and climate-smart development. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete for such contracts, given the emphasis on engaging stakeholders and generating actionable insights from programme evaluations. This is an ideal opportunity for service providers with a strong track record in evaluating development initiatives and facilitating multi-stakeholder learning.

## Notice

DFID is seeking a supplier to act as a MEL unit in support of implementation of DFID Nepal's resilience portfolio. Firstly, the MEL unit will be responsible for supporting DFID Nepal to track progress and performance against the Theory of Change and logframe for the two programmes. This will enable DFID Nepal to effectively monitor activity across a wide range of different partners, supporting continuous improvement and adapt programme management. Secondly, the MEL unit will help to generate and share knowledge on disaster resilience and climate smart development in Nepal to a range of audiences, including government stakeholders, development partners, and DFID. It will generate evidence through programme evaluations of selected parts of the portfolio and will also conduct discrete operational research studies. This will support DFID Nepal and wider stakeholders to understand "what works", for who, how and why, and help deepen the portfolio's insight into the Nepal context. Linked to this the MEL Unit will have a proactive role in sharing evidence from the DFID resilience portfolio, as well as from programmes implemented by others in Nepal, in order to support multi-stakeholder learning.
