This initiative falls under the industry category of Foreign economic-aid-related services and has a total contract value of £9,133,855. The contract period commenced on 2nd July 2018, running until 1st July 2022. The procurement method utilised for this tender was a selective procedure, adhering to the restricted process above the threshold, with the contract awarded as of 28th June 2018. This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses engaged in economic development services, particularly those specialising in youth skills training and economic aid projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete for related sub-contracts, especially those with expertise in delivering impactful skill development programmes in the Eastern Caribbean. As the DFID focuses on the poorer nations within this region, businesses offering tailored solutions that meet local needs may find significant avenues for growth and partnership. ## Notice The programme responds to needs identified by government, private sector and NGO contacts during DFID Caribbean's scoping visits in the Eastern Caribbean in 2014. The programme also helps deliver on the commitment to provide PS30m of new economic development programming for the Caribbean, which was announced as part of a PS360m development assistance commitment made by the UK Prime Minister's visit to the region in September 2015. The programme covers 4 of DFID Caribbean's 8 focus countries - 4 of the poorest Eastern Caribbean countries, where the needs on skills are particularly high, where the economic structures are more similar, and where the options for development support to fill the gaps are more limited.
