## Summary

The location for delivery includes various territories and regions, including Scotland.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses focusing on evaluation services, particularly those with expertise in international trade and economic development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to compete for this tender, as the suitability criteria encourage their participation. Companies with a proven track record in conducting comprehensive evaluations or working within the economic aid sector may find this contract to be an excellent avenue for growth and collaboration with a recognised governmental body like DFID.

## Notice

The fundamental objectives of the evaluation are: Estimate SITA's contribution to programme outcomes and impact (as opposed to 'proving' or establishing attribution. An informed judgement on the likelihood and extent of how programme outputs have contributed to programme outcome and impact is feasible. Learn lessons from DFID's first South-South aid for trade (AfT) and value-chain programme: finding out what works, for who, under what circumstances, why, and "so what"? And identify any unintended effects, both positive and negative.
