Description

The Chevening South Asia Journalism Fellowship (SAJP) is a fellowship opportunity within the Chevening Programme. The requirement is for the provision of administrative services to run the Chevening South Asia Journalism Fellowship in Financial Years 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24. Estimated total value: £1,500,000 over 5 years (£300,000 per year)

Total Quantity or Scope

The FCDO (the Authority) is looking to put in place a contract with a supplier for the provision of administrative services to run a short educational programme for mid-career professionals from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Afghanistan, Bhutan and Nepal. The successful course provider will be awarded a contract to run the Chevening South Asia Journalism Fellowship in Financial Years 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24 (April to March). The ideal timing of the programme start date is end-March in all three years. The expected date for the start of the first course is end-March 2022. The intention of the Scholarship Unit and Commercial is to start a tender process for a new 3+2yr contract in March 2021 and award around end June 2021. This would allow time for the winning provider to collaborate with the Chevening Secretariat and the Embassies and advertise the programmes in August 2021 for applications and select new Fellows for the March 2022 intake. However, Covid-19 has impacted the delivery of the course in 2020 and 2021, and consequently the first course under this contract may be required to start later.
