This contract primarily falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and targets operations in the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The award was finalised on 6th July 2018, and the contract period is effective from 9th July 2018 to 30th June 2023. This procurement process followed an open procedure, and substantial funding of £12,333,330 has been allocated for its execution. This public procurement opportunity opens up avenues for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that specialise in providing essential services in response to natural disasters. Companies with expertise in disaster recovery, infrastructure resilience, and community support are particularly well-suited to engage in this sector. As the contract emphasises operationally-relevant evidence and response strategies, it presents a promising business landscape for providers capable of innovative solutions in disaster management and community service reinforcement. ## Notice This research programme - 'Maintaining Essential Services After Natural Disasters' (MAINTAINS) is explicitly operational in focus. The overall objective of this contract is to deliver, and maximise uptake of new, operationally-relevant evidence on: how shocks impact on essential services in developing countries; the extent to which essential services can flex and respond as a system rather than independent parts; and how best essential services can prepare and respond to natural disasters.
