## Summary

The DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (DFID) is currently engaged in the contracting process for the provision of services under the title "DFID 7371 Service Provider for Expanding Social Protection Phase II Programme in Uganda". This programme aims to support the Government of Uganda in consolidating a national social protection system. The award for this contract was made on 30th August 2016, with a contract value of £53,942,157, running from 1st September 2016 to 30th June 2020. The procurement method followed was a tender process, and it falls under foreign economic-aid-related services in the public procurement category. The procurement stage is currently classified as complete.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses particularly those specialising in social protection services, economic aid, and related consulting. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are especially well-suited to compete given the project's focus. Companies with expertise in government financial systems, grant management, and national policy implementation will find themselves in a strong position to leverage this developing framework for social support in Uganda, potentially gaining valuable experience and enhancing their portfolio in international development projects.

## Notice

The purpose of ESP II is to provide technical and financial assistance to the Government of Uganda (mainly, MGLSD) to consolidate a national social protection system in Uganda. ESP I has laid a strong foundation, however, these gains are at risk of being reversed if they are not consolidated within a strong legal and institutional framework, including a national institution capable of making direct grants to households, and backed up by bigger government budget allocations. The programme is therefore intended to achieve a sustainable national social protection system which is institutionalised, financed (with an increasing proportion coming from Uganda's own growing tax base), and reaching beneficiaries across the entire country.
