At the time of Adam Smith international's (ASI\u2019s) voluntary withdrawal from DFID procurements in January 2017, our position made it clear that ASI, along with all other suppliers, will only be eligible to bid on future funding if they were able to demonstrate their ability to adhere to the high standards of integrity expected from government contractors, whilst delivering the best results for the world\u2019s poorest and value for money for UK taxpayers.<\/p>
