## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is planning a tender titled "PROJ10224 Humanitarian Assistance and Resilience Building in Somalia (HARBS)," which falls under the foreign economic-aid-related services category. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an expected budget of £20 million GBP. An Early Market Engagement event is scheduled for 16th February 2022, and interested suppliers are encouraged to register on the FCDO Supplier Portal to receive further updates. The future notice date for further information is set for 1st August 2022, as the programme seeks to mitigate severe humanitarian outcomes in Somalia.

Companies providing emergency humanitarian aid, protection services, or programmes focused on food security, WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene), and nutrition would be particularly suited to compete. The HARBS initiative aims to promote innovative solutions and locally led actions, making this tender an excellent fit for organisations committed to enhancing community resilience and integrating new methodologies in humanitarian response efforts.

## Notice

This is a prior information notice (PIN) only: Publication and a call for competition will be conducted once the scope of work is fully defined and approved. The UK's next generation humanitarian programme2022-2028 Humanitarian Assistance and Resilience Building in Somalia (HARBS), currently under design, will build on all the evidence gained to date and continue to pioneer and push boundaries. The expected impact of HARBS Programme is that severe humanitarian outcomes, including severe food insecurity, forced displacement, excess mortality and severe acute malnutrition, are reduced through the following objectives: * Deliver effective and timely emergency humanitarian assistance and protection services * Reduce vulnerability of displaced communities through durable solutions programming * Support vulnerable communities to cope with shocks and stresses * Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the humanitarian response system. Sector specific results (WASH, food security, nutrition, protection, etc.) will be determined based on the priorities identified during the design phase of the resilience and durable solutions components. HARBS will retain focus on the key programming parameters and thematic areas developed through MYHP and SHARP. The programme will also explore new and innovative ways of working. This includes a stronger focus on promoting locally led action, increasing accountability to affected populations, strengthening the integration of early warning and risk financing mechanisms, supporting the development of social safety nets.
