Description

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is looking for a supplier of services to deliver the Global Mine Action Programme 3 (GMAP 3) in Ukraine.
The expected contract value is up to £6.1m. The contract is expected to run from August 2023 to the end of March 2025 with a possible extension(s) of up to 24 months in total and potential additional value of up to £6.6m.

GMAP3 Ukraine will contribute to the overall GMAP3 programme. The Global Mine Action Programme 3 (GMAP3) began in April 2022, and is building on the success of its predecessor (the Global Mine Action Programme 2) in tackling the threat of landmines and other explosive remnants of war.

The strategic objective of GMAP3 Ukraine is to release land and conduct Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) that supports humanitarian emergency response and vulnerable communities.

The GMAP3 contract in Ukraine will be designed and implemented to achieve all five outcomes of the GMAP3 Theory of Change (ToC):
- Outcome 1: Measurable progress towards Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) and Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) treaty compliance and universalisation.
- Outcome 2: Responsive and equitable nationally owned mine action through improved governance and with increased local implementation.
- Outcome 3: Mine action integrated or sequenced with humanitarian / development / peacebuilding or stabilisation initiatives.
- Outcome 4: Safe and productive land use improves livelihoods and basic services, improving the quality of life and the environment.
- Outcome 5: Risk of harm reduced which increases returns and the freedom of movement.
The GMAP3 contract in Ukraine will be designed and implemented to achieve the following five outputs of the GMAP3 ToC:
- Output 1: Land has been released for safe and productive use.
- Output 2: Increased awareness of the risk of harm from explosive ordnance.
- Output 3: Increased collaboration with humanitarian, peace, stabilisation, development and environmental actors.
- Output 4: Enhanced capacity of national authorities.
- Output 5: Enhanced capacity of local implementers, i.e. enhanced operational and management procedures, skills and systems of local IPs, leading to increased local implementation.
