This programme aims to address rural violence, promote peace, security, justice, and climate resilience in Northern Nigeria. The programme targets 1.5 million individuals for reduced violence and supports 300,000 people to adapt to climate change effects. SPRiNG will primarily focus on North West and North Central Nigeria, with a commitment to gender equality and inclusion. The Contract Notice is expected to be released in April/May 2023. This opportunity is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs interested in foreign economic-aid-related services. Businesses operating in regions like the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom would find this tender relevant. The Early Market Engagement event will enable potential suppliers to engage with the opportunity and prepare for bidding once the Contract Notice is released. For companies looking to contribute to conflict resolution and climate resilience efforts, this programme offers a significant business growth opportunity. ## Notice Early Market Engagement - Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria (SPRiNG) Programme will take place on Wednesday 2 November 2022@ 10am Nigeria time. SPRiNG is a conflict and stability programme that will support the reduction of rural violence and increased peace, security, justice and climate resilience for citizens in volatile regions of Northern Nigeria. It will enable 1.5 million women and men to benefit from reduced violence and support 300,000 people to adapt to the effects of climate change. SPRiNG will focus geographically on North West and North Central Nigeria, implementing directly in at least three states, and engaging regionally and nationally to influence scale-up in other states. It is 15-20% UK International Climate Finance (ICF) eligible and will channel at least 30% of its resources towards advancing gender equality and inclusion. Additional information: UPDATE: Unfortunately, budget discussions have delayed the finalisation of the SPRiNG tender pack following the Early Market Engagement event in November. However, budgets have now been agreed and FCDO Nigeria intend to now move forward with the tendering and contracting process. We have internal controls and processes to go through, but our forecast is for the Contract Notice to be released April/May 2023 at this stage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64909b9d-ee83-4616-870a-b7136bbaa618 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Nov 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FOREIGN COMMONWEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE | | Locality | EAST-KILBRIDE | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G75 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | East Kilbride West | | Westminster constituency | East Kilbride and Strathaven | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services ## Release History - 7 Feb 2023 at 15:16 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64909b9d-ee83-4616-870a-b7136bbaa618 - 19 Oct 2022 at 08:40 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44fb4efc-a616-4197-8f50-cb90525e6379 - 12 Oct 2022 at 10:14 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/93aa291a-50be-411c-85e5-ce6948be9745 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/64909b9d-ee83-4616-870a-b7136bbaa618 7th February 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/44fb4efc-a616-4197-8f50-cb90525e6379 19th October 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/93aa291a-50be-411c-85e5-ce6948be9745 12th October 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://bit.ly/3rLoSiu If you are interested in attending this Early Market Engagement event, then please register via the form at: ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
