The tender was awarded on 1st August 2019, with the contract period commencing on 16th September 2019 and set to conclude on 16th December 2025. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the private sector by focusing on investment climate reform and market development. Businesses specialising in economic consultancy, policy reform, and market systems development would be well-suited to compete for future contracts under this umbrella. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as the programme is designed to level the playing field for all firms, including high-quality international investors. ## Notice Invest Salone will deliver two high level objectives: a) Investment climate reform. Invest Salone will reduce the risk of doing business, levelling the playing field for all firms, including high quality international investors. The programme will identify government institutions with the political will and capacity to tackle the barriers holding back firms, and support them to reform and simplify their processes. Invest Salone will equip firms with the knowledge and tools to follow these processes effectively and hold institutions to account where needed. Invest Salone will prioritise ensuring the rules change on the ground, not just on the books. b) Market development. Invest Salone will mobilise the capabilities and resources of the private sector to achieve development outcomes. The programme will apply market systems development principles, using the latest evidence on what does and does not work and building on experience using the approach in thin markets. Invest Salone will use a spectrum of tools to develop markets, underpinned by strict adherence to DFID's Policy on Subsidy to the Private Sector.
