Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office commissioned technical assistance to help Somalia mobilise, manage and coordinate climate finance. The work advises the Federal Government of Somalia on establishing a National Climate Fund, including practical institutional arrangements, inclusive governance, coordination mechanisms and transparent financial controls. It also covers improving access to multilateral climate funds, engaging Somali businesses and civil society, and building the capacity of national stakeholders to develop a coherent, inclusive pipeline of climate-related initiatives. This is climate-finance and institutional-development consultancy, rather than the delivery of physical infrastructure. The intended work is focused on Somalia and its national institutions, with engagement extending to development partners, private-sector organisations and civil-society groups.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to DAI Global UK Ltd on 23 September 2026. The contract is valued at £599,579.70, compared with an estimated procurement value of £899,579.70. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 25 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded through a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The published procurement information records one award and does not divide the work into lots. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete. The stated scope centres on advice and technical assistance to strengthen climate-finance institutions, access to funding, stakeholder engagement and national capacity.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for specialist climate-finance and institutional-development advice focused on Somalia. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show it can advise government counterparts on fund design, inclusive governance, coordination and transparent financial controls, as well as support access to multilateral climate finance. The work also calls for effective engagement with private-sector organisations, civil society and development partners, and the ability to build capacity across national stakeholders to develop a coherent pipeline of climate-related initiatives. The buyer identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and used a selective framework call-off route.
