Foreign economic-aid-related services

Tender description

DFID intend to extend the current contract by 18 months with effect from May 2019 and the funding required for this amendment is 1 280 000 GBP (50 % or the original contract value). The total original contract value is 2 560 000 GBP. The Centre for Global Disaster Protection is moving towards being a standalone legal entity, and arrangements will take up to a year. An extension is sought rather than going back to market as the aim is to enable continuity of services. The original contract was competitively procured as a call down contract through the DFID Wealth Creation Framework (“Lot D” Financial Sector Development) as the most efficient and effective route to market. 2 bids were received and were evaluated on the basis of technical/commercial split of 60/40. under the Lot D framework. The bid received from the successful tenderer was assessed as providing the highest technical quality consistent with delivering VfM and the lowest cost of fees and overall cost.
