## Summary

The Department for International Development (DFID) is seeking a service provider for the "DFID 7748 Consolidating Democracy in Pakistan (CDIP) - Call Down Contract". This procurement falls under the "Foreign economic-aid-related services" category and is located in the British Oversea Territories, with provisions extending to various regions including the UK and Europe. The contract, valued at approximately £20.81 million, is currently in the award stage, which was officially announced on 28 April 2017. The contract period for the successful bidder will commence on 8 May 2017 and conclude on 22 November 2019. Interested parties should note that the tender period has ended as of 30 October 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on providing advisory and management services within the domain of political governance reform, particularly in emerging markets and development sectors. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, particularly those with experience in working with political institutions and civil society organisations. The successful bidder will need to demonstrate their capacity in managing complex projects and ensuring the effective delivery of services that empower underrepresented groups, including women and minorities in Pakistan.

## Notice

The objective of this contract is effective management and delivery of the CDIP programme. The role of the service provider is to implement the CDIP programme, to ensure effective delivery of advisory support and additional roles and responsibilities as described in these ToRs and the results framework, and to support programme governance structures. The beneficiaries of this contract programme will be citizens of Pakistan, particularly women, young people, minorities, persons with disabilities and other disadvantaged groups. The service provider will support a range of relevant organisations, including but not limited to, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), national and provincial parliaments, mainstream political parties, and civil society groups-to enable and empower them to help deliver the expected outcomes of this programme. The CDIP service provider will be expected to manage delivery of four components of linked programme activity, with a focus on capability, accountability and responsiveness across the programme. Work under all four components must be consistent with the guiding principles that the state must be more capable, accountable and responsive, whilst citizens must be able to benefit from the state's strengthened capability, its openness and transparency for the sake of accountability, and its readiness to be responsive. This will include close integration of work with formal and informal institutions, and ensuring that interlinked "supply" and "demand" side initiatives feed into the same outputs. The CDIP service provider will need to demonstrate the capacity to manage the complexity of political institutions and ensuring that work in each thematic area feeds into a coherent overarching strategy for promoting political governance reform.
