Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

Strengthening Data for Nutrition Programme (SDNP). DFID will be seeking a supplier to deliver a new 3-4 year research programme up to a total value of 2 750 000 GBP to develop and test low-cost solutions to address critical nutrition-related data gaps in priority countries. In particular the programme will focus on improving the availability, quality and use of surveillance and early warning data across a range of countries to help mitigate the impact of seasonal food insecurity, disease outbreaks, and other shocks and disasters on malnutrition (including stunting and wasting). It will likely involve innovative modelling using open access and other types of data, and development of novel solutions to data collection and analysis that make best use of new technologies whilst avoiding overburdening existing data collection systems. The range of functions DFID expects the supplier to fulfil includes data modelling, project and fund management, technical design and delivery and knowledge sharing and management.
