## Summary

The procurement process for the "DFID 7595 Strengthening Governance Structures in Syria Programme (SGS) - Contract" was led by the Department for International Development (DFID), focusing on foreign economic-aid-related services. Based in East Kilbride, Scotland, this tender is complete, with an award value of £33.8 million. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the contract period began on 26 April 2017, ending on 26 April 2020. The tender period concluded on 11 July 2016.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in governance and community services. Companies engaged in delivery frameworks for local governance, education, civil defence, and livelihoods would find this tender particularly relevant for competitive participation. The focus on strengthening governance structures in a post-conflict region underscores the potential for impactful business engagements that contribute to community development while driving revenue growth.

## Notice

The principle focus is on strengthening governance structures in moderate opposition parts of Syria. The capacity of local and provincial councils to serve their communities has been developing over time, but remains weak, and can lack transparency and accountability. Increasing their capacity will both provide models for governance within post-conflict Syria, and deliver services to Syrians. The approach that HMG has been employing to develop governance capacity is through "learning by doing". In local governance, livelihoods, civil defence, education and community policing, for instance, we are providing not just training, but the opportunities and resources to put that training into practice.
