## Summary

The procurement process involves a contract amendment for the "DFID 6527 Zimbabwe Livelihoods and Food Security Programme" managed by the Department for International Development (DFID) based in East Kilbride, Scotland. This tender is classified under foreign economic-aid-related services and is currently at the Award stage, having an active award date of 30th July 2014. The contract period extends from 1st August 2014 to 28th August 2017, and this particular amendment provides a short-term extension of time only. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically via a call-off from a framework agreement.

The contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in foreign economic aid initiatives. Companies specialising in services related to livelihood support and food security will find themselves well-positioned to compete for future contracts stemming from this programme. Continued supplier performance and value-for-money demonstrations will be crucial for securing long-term opportunities in similar procurement processes initiated by DFID.

## Notice

Contract Amendment No.4 This amendment relates to a short term "Nil Cost" four week extension of time only, to provide contractual cover while the proposed twelve month extension is reviewed by Ministers (as confirmed and agreed in email dated 28/07/2017) in accordance with the PO6527 Terms and Conditions. The subsequent progression to the twelve month extension period is dependent upon supplier performance, continued demonstration of VfM and the requisite DFID approval process. All other Terms and Conditions of this contract remain unchanged.
