Description
INTRODUCTION DFID requires a third party monitoring (TPM) supplier to support the verification of programme monitoring in the Africa region across its portfolio of humanitarian, conflict, water, energy, climate change, trade, organised crime, and agricultural development programmes. DFID’s Africa Regional Department (ARD) is the third largest spending department in DFID’s Africa Divisions, with a resource budget of £160 million for 2019/20. The new DFID-FCO Joint Sahel Department (JSD) will have a budget of £45m in 2019/20. Oversight of this portfolio has been identified as a key risk due to lack of DFID presence in many countries where ARD and JSD programmes are delivered, and a substantial portion of delivery taking place in insecure or inaccessible locations which limit scope for staff to monitor delivery through field visits. This makes it difficult for ARD and JSD to assure the quality of data reported by partners on the delivery of programme activities and results. DFID wishes to contract a supplier for a period of up to 39 months, from approximately June 2019 to September 2022, to provide third party monitoring services across ARD’s portfolio of programmes with a maximum budget of £5 million. During the inception phase and the first year of implementation, the contract will provide TPM services for both ARD’s and JSD’s portfolios. The remaining two years of implementation will focus on ARD’s portfolio only.
