Dear Vendor,

The Palladium Pakistan is a private limited company registered with the SECP and implementing Delivering Accelerated Family Planning in Pakistan (DAFPAK) programme, aims to expand access to quality family planning (FP) services in the public and private sectors. Funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), this initiative has four components, which are implemented by different consortia/partners as described below:

1. Component 1: Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) implemented by M&C Saatchi
2. Component 2(a): Private Sector Service Delivery implemented by PSI, MSI and DKT
3. Component 2(b): Public Sector Service Delivery (PSSD) implemented by Palladium and its partners
4. Component 3: Enabling Environment - Advocacy and Policy Development led by UNFPA
5. Component 4: Audits, Third Party Validation, Monitoring and Research led by Integrity

The DAFPAK component 2(b) (i.e., PSSD) started in August 2019. As a result of COVID-19 pandemic, PSSD activities were scaled down during the FYs 20/21 and 21/22. Recently, the DAFPAK PSSD has received a no-cost extension and will implement its interventions in accordance with the revised scope of work. The project will now continue till June 2024.

Building on our previous work, Palladium, and its consortium partner (Pathfinder International) will engage with the provincial and district-level governments in pursuit of four outputs:

1. Output 1: Improve FP coordination for the implementation of Result-Based Management Frameworks and CCI recommendation at provincial levels
2. Output 2: Strengthen procurement and distribution of contraceptive commodities to the last mile
3. Output 3: Bolster FP data systems and build a culture of data demand and evidence use for decision-making
4. Output 4: Improve access to, and quality of, FP services
5. Palladium and its consortium partner will strengthen FP service provision in the public sector across 20 districts in three provinces of Punjab (6), Sindh (10) and KP (4).

We are in process of procurement of Skill lab equipment for FCDO Funded Project DAFPAK-PSSD, this procurement is contingent upon approval from Government of Pakistan and the client.

We are unable to disclose the number of required items considering approvals awaited from Government.
