Description of the procurement

Ireland’s Official Development Assistance programme is managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs through its Development Cooperation and Africa Division. Irish support provided by the programme helps around 130 countries across the world, with a particular focus on Africa, and on least developed, fragile and conflict affected countries.
In order to achieve the objectives of the Development Education Strategy, the Development Education Unit provides funding under two complementary streams. Firstly, support is provided for a number of strategic partnerships. These partnerships are currently focused on capacity-building of the sector, the formal education sector, resource provision for development education, and the adult and community education and youth sectors. Secondly, a Development Education Grants Scheme provides funding to a range of organisations working in Ireland to deliver quality development education. Applications are accepted on an annual basis from Irish-based organisations to carry out projects of between one and two years in duration, as detailed in the Development Education Grants Scheme Guidelines.
The overall objective of this framework is to provide high quality technical input/support to ensure that best practice quality standards are coherently applied across all stages of the Development Education Fund and Strategic Partnerships project cycle.
In order to meet this requirement the Contracting Authority intends to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement as described further in this RFT.
