 The aim of the workshop is to develop the framework and content of the tender for the distribution of 7000 laptops for Ukrainian refugees in Hungary, donated by HP, together with the organizations that are potential applicants or intermediaries in the tender.

The workshop will be attended by representatives of organisations who:

• work to provide care and assistance to refugees from Ukraine, and to promote the social integration of those settled in Hungary
• are happy to participate in the distribution of laptops, brokering the distribution
• can help beneficiaries to use their laptops for their intended purpose and for their intended use
• support the educational integration of refugee children.

Background: 

HP is donating 7000 laptops to Ukrainian children fleeing to Hungary and the organisations and educational institutions supporting them. The Business Coalition for Education (US) charity and the International Step by Step Association, of which Partners Hungary Foundation is a member, have also played a prominent role in facilitating the donation.  

The donation will be distributed in Hungary by the Partners Hungary Foundation. The basic software will be provided by Microsoft, the installation of the software is our responsibility. Based on the preliminary agreement - which Microsoft needed because of the software license - we will donate 4000 laptops to schools and refugee organisations, formal and informal groups, 2000 to children/families and 1000 directly to teachers.   

Partners Hungary intends to distribute the laptops through a competitive tender process, based on the following criteria:

• speed: laptops should be delivered to beneficiaries as soon as possible, so that they can quickly become useful tools for effective learning, leisure and information once the school year starts. 
• Reliability: we want to ensure that laptops are available to children, families, teachers and institutions in need, and that we can filter out misuse as much as possible.
• cooperation: we believe it is very important for volunteers, professionals and organisations working to support refugees to work together, because we believe that by sharing information, complementing each other's competences, thinking and acting together, and showing solidarity, we can only reflect on the ever-changing needs. 
• Sustainability: we want to ensure that the assets are at the service of the beneficiaries over the long term, using the assets to their full capacity and, where possible, benefiting the whole community of educators and learners, especially in the case of educational institutions. 
• Traceability, impact measurement: we want to assess the impact of access to a laptop on the lives of beneficiaries; this will be monitored using the Most Significant Change methodology
• Transparency: we want to distribute laptops in a transparent way, while respecting the rules on the processing of personal data. On our website, we will be able to keep track of the names of the winners, the number of laptops still available and information on the applications. 

Our preliminary ideas for the tender:

• We offer continuous tendering while stocks last. 

We want to develop a tendering system that takes these aspects into account. 

There will be three categories: 

1. institutions/organisations, informal groups
2. educators
3. individuals (parents who request a laptop for their children)

We would also like to give the opportunity to the applicant organisations to undertake additional distribution for the children or teachers they work with - who are beneficiaries - and to encourage them to provide additional services and capacity building for the use of the tools. 

Participation in the workshop is subject to registration. To ensure efficient small group work, we can accommodate a maximum of 20 participants. If the number of participants exceeds 20, an additional workshop will be held. We ask that one person per organisation applies, so that we can include the views and suggestions of as many organisations as possible.

The purpose of the workshop is to develop the structure and content of a tender for the supply of 7000 laptops that will be delivered to Ukraine as a donation from HP to Ukrainian citizens, together with organisations that are potential bidders or mediators in the tenders.

In this workshop we will explore the characteristics of the representatives of organisations that:

1. to work in the field of care and assistance to refugees from Ukraine, as well as in the social integration of those living in Ukraine
2. willing to take part in distribution of laptops, distribution services
3. can help beneficiaries to use their laptops wisely and correctly
4. Supporting the educational integration of bi-ethnic children.

History:

HP is donating 7,000 laptops to Ukrainian children who travel to Ukraine, as well as to the organisations and educational institutions that support them. The charitable organization Business Coalition for Education (USA) and the international association Crocus for Education played a major role in matching the donation, the latter being a member of Partners Hungary.

The donation will be distributed in Ukraine by Partners Hungary Foundation. The basic software support is provided by Microsoft, and we are responsible for the installation of the software support. On the basis of the prior approval required by Microsoft through a software license, 4000 laptops will be given to schools and youth organisations, formal and informal groups, 2000 to children/ families and 1000 to non-formal educators.

The partners of Ugorschina intend to distribute the laptops through a tender, so that these aspects are taken into account in the distribution:

1. speed: laptops should be kept in the classroom for a short time so that they can quickly become useful tools for effective teaching, feedback and information gathering after the start of the academic year.
2. The point: we want to make sure that laptops are accessible to children, families, teachers and institutions that need them, and that we can maximise the potential for abuse.
3. partner: We consider the cooperation of volunteers, professionals and organisations working in support of women to be very important, as we believe that by sharing information, by sharing information, sharing competencies, thinking and acting together, and accepting solidarity, we can only think about ever-changing needs.
4. the future development: we want to ensure that the tools are at the service of beneficiaries in the long term and, where possible, and particularly in the case of educational institutions, that they benefit the whole learning and teaching community.
5. robustness, impact assessment: we want to assess the impact of laptop access on the lives of beneficiaries; we will do this using the method of least significant change
6. transparency: we want to extend the laptops in a transparent way, respecting the privacy rules. On our website you can see the list of resellers, the number of available laptops, information about requests.

Our forward-looking ideas for tendering:

1. We will ensure continuous trading while stocks last.

We would like to develop a tendering system that takes into account the above aspects.

We will be voting in three categories:

1. institutions/organisations, informal groups
2. Educators
3. physical persons (fathers who need a laptop for their children)

We would also like to give applicant organisations the opportunity to reach out more to the children or teachers who work with them - who are the beneficiaries - and to encourage them to provide additional services and develop the capacity to use the tools.

Participation in the workshop is subject to registration. For the master class - to work in an effective small group - we can accommodate up to 20 people. If the number of applicants exceeds 20, an additional workshop will be held. We ask that one person applies from an organisation, so that we can bring together the ideas and proposals of a larger number of organisations.
