Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) Trading Limited is inviting economic consultancies to submit proposals for a research and development project titled "Economic Consultancy - Forest Pathways 2: Financing Forests." The consultancy will examine financial flows that impact forested areas in Brazil and Indonesia, aiming to re-align these flows to support forest conservation. This tender falls under the industry category of research and experimental development services and is currently in the tender stage, with the deadline for proposals set for 7th February 2025. The contract is expected to start on 27th February 2025 and conclude on 28th February 2026. The procurement method being used is a competitive quotation below threshold.

This opportunity provides significant potential for business growth, especially for consultancies with a strong presence in Brazil and Indonesia. It is particularly suited for SMEs (businesses) and VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) with expertise in economic and environmental consultancy services. Businesses that can form partnerships to ensure local staffing in the study countries stand to benefit the most. The project outcomes will contribute to advocacy efforts at UNFCCC COP30, potentially elevating the participating firms' profiles within the global environmental sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Economic Consultancy - Forest Pathways 2: Financing Forests

Notice Description

Please read RfQ for full details. WWF-UK invites proposals from economic consultancies to study financial flows to highly forested areas in Brazil and Indonesia. The study will quantify flows that are beneficial and detrimental to forests in the study countries and explore how they can be re-aligned to protect remaining natural forests, replicating Closing the Biodiversity Finance Gap (Deutz, 2020) at a national level for forests. The results will inform advocacy at and around UNFCCC COP30. Proposals are invited from consultancies with staff based in both study countries, or a partnership of two consultancies with one based in each country.
