## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for International Development (DFID) seeking to amend the DFID 6527 Zimbabwe Livelihoods and Food Security Programme contract. The amendment, classified under the CPV code for foreign economic-aid-related services, pertains to a "nil cost" extension as the team awaits a review by the Secretary of State. This phase is part of the contract period that commenced on 1st August 2014 and is set to conclude on 31st October 2017. The amendment notice was published on 20th October 2017. The procurement method used for this contract was a selective approach, calling off from a framework agreement. The delivery addresses span various regions, including British Overseas Territories and the UK.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses focused on providing foreign economic aid-related services, particularly those capable of delivering effective outcomes and demonstrating value for money. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially those with a track record in similar service delivery. As the DFID assesses supplier performance for any potential ten-month extension, businesses demonstrating competence in addressing the requirements outlined in the contract may benefit from future engagements.

## Notice

Contract Amendment No.6 This amendment relates to a further short term "Nil Cost" extension of time only, to provide contractual cover while the proposed ten month extension is reviewed by Secretary of State (SoS), in accordance with the PO 6527 Terms and Conditions. Any subsequent progression to the ten month extension period is dependent upon supplier performance, continued demonstration of VfM and the requisite DFID approval process. If the submission is not approved by SoS, associated staffing costs incurred for the interim period may be reconciled with identified programme underspend, any such costs will be fully substantiated and approved by the Programme Team accordingly. Additionally this amendment rectifies a typographical error the "start date" detailed in the previous amendment number 5. All other Terms and Conditions of this contract remain unchanged.
