## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for International Development (DFID) awarding a contract titled "DFID 7974 Performance evaluation of the Supporting Sustainable Artisanal Mining in Rwanda (SSAMIR) programme - Call Down Contract." This contract falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and has a value of £359,649. The contract's execution is set to span from 18 December 2017 to 30 September 2020. It was awarded as a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award date registered on 25 October 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on evaluation and monitoring services, particularly those experienced in the artisanal mining industry. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this contract particularly suitable given its supportive framework. Companies capable of delivering independent evaluations, developing robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and engaging effectively with the DFID and TSP methodologies would enhance their prospects for competing in this favourable procurement landscape.

## Notice

Deliverables under this performance evaluation contract will complement the ongoing internal monitoring and evaluation activities carried out by the TSP. Therefore, this contract is not aimed at substituting the TSP's own results measurement systems, but to complement, quality assure and advise DFID and the TSP on strategic areas for improvement from an independent perspective. The TSP will be responsible for developing its own monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) framework during the programme's 6 month inception phase, and subsequently implementing this framework. The TSP will be expected to carry out self-monitoring: self-assessment of progress. This will include (but is not limited to) updating the SSAMIR log frame, updating the Theory of Change (ToC), undertaking viability studies, developing intervention baselines and metrics for monitoring, evaluating outputs, and iteratively refining the MEL framework as needed to adapt to realities on the ground. The TSP should support the independent evaluation team by providing such information and support as is needed to effectively carry out the performance evaluation objectives.
