This procurement falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services and is based in East Kilbride, Scotland. The tender process is at the planning stage, with submissions accepted until 19th December 2016. The procurement method employed is a selective procedure, with a total budget of up to £10 million GBP allocated for the programme, which spans a duration of up to five years commencing from 27th February 2017. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) services, as well as organisations adept in coordinating adaptive management practices. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the programme aims to enhance capacities for MEL systems among donors and partners. Engaging in this contract could enable businesses to contribute to the improvement of development interventions while expanding their market reach. ## Notice If donors are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals it is essential that policies, programmes and interventions become more effective. Adaptive management has gained traction as an approach to improving development interventions by recognising that strategies, project designs and implementation plans may need to be altered as new learning emerges or the development context shifts. The Global Learning for Adaptive Management (GLAM) programme will support adaptive management in DFID and USAID programmes. It will also establish a centre for learning about adaptive management. Programme duration will be up to 5 years, with a budget of up to $7 million USD. The main programme activities are likely to be: * Supporting the design and use of monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) systems for adaptive management * Increasing donor and partner (both international and local) capacities to use MEL systems and implement adaptive management practices * Building consensus, encouraging coordination and establishing standards for MEL practices in adaptive programmes * Evaluating and learning about adaptive management. Expected outcomes include greater use of robust evidence and MEL systems for adaptive management within global development communities, and greater supply, demand and quality of MEL services available for adaptive development programmes.
