This initiative falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and aims to enhance the capacity of service providers in Ghana to offer contraceptive implant services. Key dates include the contract period, which runs from 25 September 2017 to 31 December 2017, and a tender period that concluded on 13 September 2017. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total contract value of £491,100. The geographical scope includes various territories such as the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their service offerings in health training and community health services. Businesses with expertise in training health professionals, particularly in family planning and contraceptive services, will be especially well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project can not only contribute to public health improvements in Ghana but also enable companies to establish strong connections and gain experience within the international development sector. ## Notice The overall goal is to improve service provider capacity to offer contraceptive implants services in the communities and increase contraceptive prevalence in the country. Despite these significant supported inputs, there are still further inputs required to ensure sustainability of this through DFID support.
