The assignment covers the design, adoption and implementation of a Green Mining Energy Framework across mining licensing, environmental permitting and environmental and social impact assessment processes. It is intended to reduce future reliance on diesel power and support lower-emission mining investment. Expected work includes diagnosing current arrangements, developing design options, preparing the framework and supporting government guidance, and producing implementation and compliance materials. These materials will include templates, monitoring tools and capacity-building support. Delivery is in Madagascar. The procurement covers energy, mining, electrical, research and development, consultancy and environmental services.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure above the applicable threshold. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 22 September 2026 at 17:00 British Summer Time. The contract is planned to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its estimated value is £350,000. Suppliers are invited to submit applications by email to targetedfund@ukpact.co.uk. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement is for services and concerns work in Madagascar. The published requirement focuses on renewable integration in mining permits, environmental permitting and environmental and social impact assessment processes, with supporting implementation and compliance activity.

This opportunity suits consultancies and advisory teams combining renewable-energy expertise with mining-sector, environmental-regulation and public-sector policy experience. Strong candidates will be able to assess existing licensing and permitting arrangements, develop practical policy and regulatory options, and translate them into a Green Mining Energy Framework that government can adopt. They should also be able to prepare guidance, compliance templates and monitoring tools, and provide capacity-building support to public officials.

Notice Title

Technical Assistance to Embed Renewable Integration in Madagascar Mining Permits

Notice Description

La description de l'appel d'offres ainsi que les documents de soumission sont egalement disponibles en francais. Veuillez consulter les pieces jointes pour plus d'informations. Following the reopening of mining permits in 2026, Madagascar has an opportunity to shape how new mining investments source power.

Key outputs include a diagnostic and design options package, a Green Mining Energy Framework and supporting guidance for government adoption, and an implementation and compliance package with templates, monitoring tools and capacity-building support. The project aims to reduce future diesel dependence in the mining sector and support lower-emission mining development in Madagascar.
