Fleming Fund - Website Development and Maintenance
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
This is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid project from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)’s Fleming Fund which helps to fight antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where the burden of drug-resistant infection is greater. This contract supports the hosting and maintenance of the Fleming Fund website, an external-facing sites that hosts information on Fleming Fund country, regional, and global grants and the fellowship scheme. The website supports the Fund to raise awareness of AMR in LMICs and reflects the breadth of the Fund’s work. It supports the communication and sharing of programme information including publications, news articles, and funding announcements. The website is an integral part of the Fleming Fund’s wider communications strategy. The first supplier was procured through an open, competitive process. The second supplier was contracted using a direct award via the government Crown Commercial Service which offers better value for money and beneficial terms to government agencies for off the shelf solutions.

Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF)
UK - Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
The Global Antimicrobial Resistance Innovation Fund (GAMRIF) is an Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded UKaid programme from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). It supports high-quality research and development (R&D) around the world to reduce the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in humans, animals, and the environment for the benefit of people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), focussing on product development (such as therapeutics, alternatives, vaccines, diagnostics and beyond). GAMRIF delivers through bilateral partnerships, global initiatives, and product development partnerships (PDPs) to establish international research partnerships with industry, academia, and governments. This approach enables it to collaborate with, and leverage additional funding from, other global donors to develop innovative One Health* solutions to tackle AMR in LMICs and increase the availability of context-specific, accessible, and affordable innovations for LMICs. (*One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.)
