## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is conducting a procurement process titled "PROJ10147 - TA Facility to strengthen Rwanda's Social Protection Sector" aimed at providing technical expertise to support Rwanda's Social Protection Sector. The contract, with a value of £5,876,925, is part of the FCDO's efforts to eradicate poverty in Rwanda and will operate from 3 March 2021 to 31 March 2024. The award was published on 4 March 2021, and this selective procurement method was executed through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 1 February 2021.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on service provision, particularly those in sectors related to foreign economic aid and social welfare. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Businesses that can deliver technical support and capacity building within governmental frameworks would be strong contenders for future related contracts.

## Notice

The TA Facility will provide technical expertise and capacity building to the Government of Rwanda and support the effective implementation of its Social Protection Sector Strategic Plan (SP-SSP) and ultimately a strengthened national social protection system, as well as the delivery of FCDO's Exiting Poverty in Rwanda (EPR) programme which aims to eradicate extreme poverty and reduce overall poverty.
