## Summary

The UK Department for International Development (DFID) has awarded a contract titled "DFID 7891 To increase demand for family planning through interventions to change shared behaviours and beliefs." This contract, valued at £5.5 million, falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, initiated on the tender period that ended on 9 March 2017, with the contract now active from 1 September 2018 until 28 February 2021. The project aims to enhance family planning awareness and accessibility, particularly targeting young people under 20 years old across the British Overseas Territories and other listed regions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those in the health services, social change, or community outreach sectors, to leverage their expertise in driving family planning initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate in this procurement, given the programme's focus on locally-driven education and access strategies. Suppliers engaged in behavioural change communications, contraceptive provision, or youth empowerment programmes may find this contract aligns with their service offerings and objectives.

## Notice

The proposed outcomes for this component of the programme are: i) Young women and men with improved knowledge and more positive attitudes towards family planning. ii) Key influencers are taking action that improves access to family planning for women and adolescents. iii) Adolescents included in decision making process and interventions to generate demand for family planning. iv) Community of people with improved knowledge and positive attitudes that challenges gender discrimination and exclusion of adolescents in decision-making. v) Evidence of what works with similar interventions and in the programme is systematically used to inform policy and link with programming in the health sector including the supply-side support being undertaken by the UN agencies. vi) Increase family planning uptake among the population adolescents (younger than 20 years) including 16,080 new users of contraceptives. The pilot should test an approach that if successful should lead to an additional 24,000 people in rural areas using contraceptives as a result of supply-side interventions. We expect two thirds of these to be adolescents, which is why one of the outcomes is that 16.080 additional users will be less than 20 years of age.
