The contract, valued at £999,630, focuses on providing evaluation services within the foreign economic aid sector, specifically targeting improvements in the livelihoods of poor farming communities in Zambia affected by climate change. The award was published on 30 October 2017, with the contract period running from 18 September 2017 to 17 March 2022. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, highlighting the planned and strategic nature of the process. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in impact evaluations, climate-smart agriculture, and related services, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Firms with experience in sustainable agricultural practices and resilience-building programmes would be especially well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature, contributing to enhanced food security and nutrition in vulnerable communities. The involvement of DFID further underscores the programme's potential for creating impactful and socially responsible business opportunities in the region. ## Notice The purpose of the programme is to help poor farming communities adapt to the impacts of climate change on their lives and livelihoods. Other benefits of the programme will include improved nutrition and food security. DFID would like to subject this programme to an evaluation to determine what impact it will have on the livelihoods and resilience of Zambian farming families who depend on rain fed agriculture, and why. Currently, the impact difference between conventional and conservation farming lacks a robust evidence base. The attached Business Case (flag A) provides details of anticipated programme impacts, outcomes and outputs, target groups, timescale, geographical coverage and the impact of the intervention on gender. This evaluation, therefore, will have strong value for money by both helping inform future DFID programming, as well as similarly-designed programmes in Zambia and the Southern Africa region. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/98865266-c470-415f-b99b-b7482c573387 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 12 Sep 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Sep 2017 | | Contract period | 17 Sep 2017 - 17 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £999,630 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £999,630 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT | | 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 | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WYG INTERNATIONAL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services ## Release History - 3 Nov 2017 at 16:23 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/98865266-c470-415f-b99b-b7482c573387 - 30 Oct 2017 at 12:34 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/98865266-c470-415f-b99b-b7482c573387 - 30 Oct 2017 at 12:31 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/98865266-c470-415f-b99b-b7482c573387 - 30 Oct 2017 at 10:37 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/98865266-c470-415f-b99b-b7482c573387 - 30 Oct 2017 at 10:29 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/98865266-c470-415f-b99b-b7482c573387 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/98865266-c470-415f-b99b-b7482c573387 3rd November 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/35e407fb-a56a-43e3-89fc-e76715a91a0b DFID 7780 Call Down Contract Section 3 ToR - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f02c4647-016e-4a00-8a0a-027abceebced DFID 7780 Call Down Contract Section 1 ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
