Tender description

This is a prior information notice (PIN) only: Publication and call for competition will be conducted once scope of work is fully defined and approved. BSAAT is DFID Tanzania’s primary anti-corruption programme. It supports the Government of Tanzania and is closely aligned with NACSAP III (National Anti-Corruption Strategy Action Plan). Learning from previous and ongoing DFID anti-corruption programming, BSAAT aims to address both technical aspects of corruption as well as political incentives. It considers both demand-side (i.e. public sector) and supply-side (i.e. private sector) drivers of corruption and is a complement to sector-specific anti-corruption work such as that being conducted in Tanzania through the Anti-Corruption Evidence (ACE) programme. BSAAT is looking to mobilise for its private sector component. This component will make corruption less of a barrier to growth and poverty reduction in Tanzania by promoting integrity and ethics in the private sector. This is a prior information notice (PIN) only: Publication and call for competition will be conducted once scope of work is fully defined and approved. The focus of BSAAT Integrity and Ethics in the private sector will be on supply-side drivers of corruption and aims to address them by promoting integrity and ethics in the private sector. Private-sector corruption is a major issue, but is much less well understood than grand corruption. Evidence is scarce and risks and incentives are unclear. It is clear, however, that businesses are both victims and participants of corruption. Breaking this cycle is necessary to promote competition and accountability to make it easier for businesses to compete, succeed, and make a positive contribution to development. The expected contract duration is 48 months.
