Value
Description
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is looking for a Supplier to deliver the Strengthening access to Family Planning (FP) in the Private sector Component 3 of the Empowering Women for Better Reproductive Health Outcomes (EMPOWER) Programme in Uganda. The wider EMPOWER programme has a Component 3 which aims to contribute to creating a vibrant and self-sustaining private sector market for voluntary Family Planning (FP) services in Urban and Semi-urban areas. This will involve identifying the market segments that can pay for their services and building capacity of Private for Profit (PFP) and Private-Not-For-Profit (PNFP) outlets to provide these services affordably and sustainably. FCDO expects the private sector to play an increasing role in contributing to Uganda's targeted modern Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (mCPR) and to increase the share of FP service delivery covered by other funding sources beyond Government of Uganda (GOU)and donors, including, for example, out of pocket and health insurance. Potential interventions are expected to address both demand and supply factors, and the delivery partner(s) are expected to test and scale up the most appropriate interventions. The Contract is anticipated to commence at the end of April / beginning of May 2025 and run until 31 March 2030. The Contract has the option of further extension for up to two years and three months, if required. The Contract value is up to £3,600,000. The Contract value may increase by up to £1,500,000, subject to evidence of effectiveness of interventions, internal approvals and the availability of funds (see section “Scaling Up and Down”). The increase in value may take place during the initial Contract period or its extension. The budget is exclusive of UK VAT but includes all applicable local taxes. It is the Supplier’s responsibility to establish its taxation position both in the UK and in Uganda to ensure it meets its obligations. The Supplier will be responsible for obtaining any tax and customs exemptions from relevant government authorities, if applicable.

Lot 1: Strengthening access to Family Planning in the Private Sector is Component 3 of wider Empowering Women for Better Reproductive Health Outcomes (EMPOWER) Programme - Uganda. The EMPOWER programme aims to contribute to creating a vibrant and self-sustaining private sector market for voluntary Family Planning (FP) services in Urban and Semi-urban areas in Uganda. The overall intended outcome of the Contract is to reduce donor reliance for Family Planning (FP) commodities and services and ensure that both donor and Government of Uganda (GoU) services are prioritised for the most disadvantaged who would not be able to access FP services on their own. By enabling those with willingness and ability to pay, and channelling resources where they are needed the most, this component will improve the longer-term value -for -money (VFM) of the programme, particularly around economy and equity. FCDO aims to contribute to Uganda’s efforts to harness the full potential of the private sector in increasing Uganda’s Modern Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (mCPR). FCDO expects the private sector to play an increasing role in contributing to Uganda's targeted modern Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (mCPR) and to increase the share of FP service delivery covered by other funding sources beyond Government of Uganda (GOU) and donors, including, for example, out of pocket and health insurance.
