DFAT expects the tender process for the Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) Support Unit to be released within the next four (4) weeks, unless further advice is provided.

DFAT is currently assessing proposals received from Australian NGOs for the AHP and is unable to discuss the process with partners. Until the Evaluation Committee is convened in two weeks' time, DFAT is not in a position to provide information, for example, on whether interviews will be required, and if required, when these would be scheduled.

Current implementing partners under the Humanitarian Partnership Agreement (HPA) should be aware that while DFAT continues to be able to discuss current work as it relates to the HPA, we are unable to engage on the process for the AHP.

Questions

All questions relating to the competitive selection processes for the AHP should be submitted to ahp@dfat.gov.au.
