DFID aims to help create a better governed, more peaceful & prosperous Burma that uses its increased wealth to reduce poverty and vulnerability, and build the human capability to take up opportunities within Burma and the region more broadly. Economic development is a major part of DFID’s offer in Burma as reflected in DFID Burma’s Operational Plan up to March 2016. Burma’s transition away from a military government has been accompanied by some economic reform. This has the potential to launch an economic transformation in Burma that could underpin sustainable poverty reduction by increasing productivity in agricultural, industrial and service sectors, and through movements of labour from lower productivity work to higher productivity work. To achieve this, Burma will need to reform across a range of areas. As part of DFID’s efforts to help reform in these areas, DFID has developed a new business case, ‘Business for Shared Prosperity in Burma’, for work up to 31 December 2020. This programme aims to improve economic opportunities for poor people in Burma by unlocking the potential of business by working in five areas: The regulatory and institutional environment for doing business; Financial sector; Infrastructure – financing and policy; Trade; and Inclusion and responsible business. DFID wishes to seek the services of a supplier to implement one of the delivery mechanisms of the Business Case, the Burma Enterprise Opportunity Facility. The facility will have two primary roles: provision of advice, technical assistance and capacity building; and issuing calls for proposals for innovative new projects that contribute to the objectives of the programme. We also envisage it will have a secondary role of assuming programme management on behalf of DFID for the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business. DFID expects the supplier to be in place by the 1st of April at the latest and the contract will last until December 2020, with a 6 month inception phase. There will be two break points in the programme, one after the inception phase and one at the point of the third annual review in August 2018. At these break points, DFID reserves the right to stop, scale up or re-contract the facility. This is a Competitive Procedure with Negotiation as the nature of the services cannot be established with sufficient precision to permit the award of the contract using the Open or Restricted procedure. After evaluation of the submitted pre-qualification questionnaire, a minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 suppliers will then be invited to tender. A further shortlisted group of suppliers will then be invited to negotiation.
