Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for the "Congo Basin Forestry Action Programme EME event". This procurement focuses on foreign economic-aid-related services, targeting the mitigation of deforestation in the Congo Basin by promoting sustainable agricultural practices. An early market engagement (EME) event will occur on 1st October 2024 at 10 AM UK time, with the engagement period ending on 30th September 2024. This event is pivotal for updating market players on the timelines and terms of reference (ToR) for Components 1 (Community Forests) and 2 (FCDO Partners Facility), and it also allows potential participants to register and begin preparations.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses specialising in sustainable agriculture, agroforestry, and community development projects are particularly well-suited to bid for this contract. By participating, these businesses have the chance to engage in meaningful projects that not only offer financial benefits but also contribute to significant environmental and social impacts in vulnerable forest frontier zones. The collaborative nature of the programme, emphasising co-design and local ownership, ensures that participating businesses can leverage their expertise to foster long-lasting positive changes in the impacted regions.

Notice Title

Congo Basin Forestry Action Programme EME event

Notice Description

This notice is for a follow up EME event being held on the 1st October 2024 at 10am UK time. Please use this link to register for the event https://forms.office.com/e/0nXJy2j2Fi The Programme will address the primary driver of deforestation across the Congo Basin - small-scale agricultural practices by local communities. This will be achieved by working directly with beneficiaries to support transitions to income generated through more sustainable activities - effective community forests, improving agricultural efficiencies, and encouraging sustainable agroforestry. Reinforced through helping local communities to secure and operationalise land tenure rights, whilst building local and regional capacities and knowledge, with a focus on equipping beneficiaries to continue sustaining activities beyond the programme period. Co-design and co-ownership at its core. This means ensuring beneficiaries form a key part of the design of programme activities. This reduces the risk of such activities failing once programme funding ends. These activities will be focused on areas of active deforestation as a result of human activity. These are primarily unprotected forest frontier zones where local populations are encroaching on the forest for economic reasons. This EME is focusing on the contract/tender for components 1 and 2 only and will update the market on timelines and ToR developments since the first EME earlier this year Component 1 - Community Forests Component 2 - FCDO Partners Facility Additional information: This notice is for an EME event being held on the 1 October 2024 at 10am UK time.
