Sida's Framework Agreement for Reviews, Evaluations and Advisory services on Results Frameworks

Indevelop is pleased that the contract award appeal for the framework agreement has been concluded. The administrative court has dismissed the appeal, and ruled that Sida's evaluation of Indevelop's tender was correct.

Sida's tender evaluation was announced 2/2 with the decision to award contracts to three tenderers in a ranked order, with Indevelop's tender ranked highest. The tender evaluation was appealed by Sipu who challenged the fulfillment of a requirement in Indevelop's tender, namely the academic merits of the proposed Project Manager. Sida assessed that the requirement was fulfilled in the tender evaluation, which has now been confirmed by the administrative court.

The purpose of the Framework Agreement is to provide a range of high quality services that Sida can draw on when establishing results frameworks for projects and programs, as well as while planning and conducting evaluations and reviews. The overall objective of the services implemented under this Framework Agreement will be to contribute to Sida's results based management by providing for: (i) accountability for results; (ii) knowledge generation and lessons learning at Sida and among Sida's partners; and (iii) evidence based decision making at Sida and among Sida's partners.

The Framework Agreement will be at the disposal of all Sida departments and teams as well as Swedish Embassies wanting to acquire services within the scope of the Framework Agreement.
