Tender: DPIRD Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement (MERI) Procurement Panel – Up to 10 Suppliers

About

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development is seeking suppliers to join a Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement (MERI) procurement panel to provide department-wide access to pre-qualified specialists on an as-needs basis. The panel will appoint up to 10 suppliers to support small and low-risk programs and projects where specialist expertise, independent advice or additional capacity is required, with individual engagements separately scoped and awarded through quotation processes. Services may include evaluation planning and delivery; MERI frameworks for programs under $10 million including program logic and theory of change, outcomes and benefits frameworks, indicators and reporting approaches; evidence synthesis, workshop facilitation and co-design; and capability building, coaching, training, tools and templates. The panel is intended to reduce procurement lead times and administrative effort while maintaining competition, value for money and flexibility to respond to emerging priorities.
