Description

The Department for International Development (DFID) and the Stabilisation Unit (SU) have outsourced some of their emergency response and operations capability since the early 1990s. The current Humanitarian and Emergency Operations Support Service (HEOSS) contract is due to end on 30th April 2017, and will be extended until 31st October 2017 to allow this tender process to complete, and a suitable transition from HEOSS to Humanitarian Emergency Response, Operations and Stabilisation Programme (HEROS).

DFID and the SU, as the joint beneficiaries of this contract, are now seeking to appoint a service provider to deliver HEROS. There are three overarching objectives of this programme:
1. Humanitarian emergency response management for rapid onset response, protracted crises, chronic emergencies and humanitarian reform (DFID only)
2. Operational capability and deployments (DFID and SU)
3. Procurement, logistics and infrastructure expertise and operational capability (DFID and SU)
