Summary of the contracting process

Palladium International Limited is procuring technical assistance and capacity-building services for the Government of Bangladesh on carbon market governance and readiness. The work will support Bangladesh’s participation in high-integrity carbon markets, including Article 6, CORSIA and voluntary carbon markets, and help implement its NDC 3.0 mitigation targets. Activities include strengthening institutional coordination, carbon market rules, authorisation processes, safeguards, measurement, reporting and verification, UNFCCC reporting, and CORSIA readiness. Expected outputs include governance and coordination tools, an authorisation and safeguards toolkit, reporting support, a government capacity-building programme and sector readiness briefs identifying future carbon market investment opportunities. Delivery is in Bangladesh, working with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Department of Environment, Power Division, Ministry of Finance and other government ministries. This is a services requirement covering environmental, research and consultancy work.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited proposals through an open procedure above the threshold. Suppliers were required to submit offers by 24 September 2026 at 17:00 UK time. The planned contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The estimated contract value is £250,000. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Bids were invited from qualified suppliers or consortia, with applications submitted to targetedfund@ukpact.co.uk. The procurement covers a single requirement in Bangladesh rather than separately described lots. The stated outputs and scope indicate that proposals need to address governance, authorisation, safeguards, reporting, institutional coordination, capacity building and market-readiness support across relevant Bangladeshi government bodies.

This opportunity suits consultancies, research organisations and specialist climate or carbon-market advisers able to provide practical technical assistance to a national government. Strong candidates will understand high-integrity carbon markets and the operation of Article 6, CORSIA and voluntary carbon markets, together with carbon-market governance, authorisation, safeguards, measurement, reporting and verification, and UNFCCC reporting. Suppliers should be able to design governance and coordination tools, develop practical toolkits, produce sector readiness analysis and identify future investment opportunities. The work also requires the ability to build institutional capability through a structured programme for government officials and coordinate across several ministries and agencies. It may suit an SME, VCSE or consortium combining policy, carbon-market, environmental, finance, reporting and capacity-building expertise, with experience translating international climate requirements into workable national systems.

Notice Title

Bangladesh Carbon Market Governance & Readiness Sprint

Notice Description

The UK Government's Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme is inviting proposals from qualified suppliers or consortia to deliver technical assistance to the government of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is establishing the foundations for participation in high-integrity carbon markets, including Article 6, CORSIA and voluntary carbon markets. While progress has been made through the establishment of a carbon market framework and supporting governance arrangements, further support is needed to operationalise these systems across government, strengthen institutional coordination, and enable Bangladesh to use carbon markets to support delivery of its NDC 3.0 unconditional mitigation targets. The assignment will provide targeted technical assistance and capacity building to strengthen Bangladesh's carbon market governance, authorisation processes, MRV, reporting and institutional readiness. Working with relevant government agencies, including MoEFCC, DoE, the Power Division, Ministry of Finance and other line ministries, the project will support practical implementation of carbon market rules, CORSIA readiness, UNFCCC reporting requirements, and inclusive, high-integrity market participation. Key outputs are expected to include governance and coordination tools, an authorisation and safeguards toolkit, CORSIA readiness and reporting support, a structured government capacity-building programme, and sector readiness briefs identifying future carbon market investment opportunities. The project aims to strengthen Bangladesh's ability to participate in high-integrity carbon markets, unlock climate finance, improve institutional capability, and support implementation of national climate targets. Interested suppliers are invited to review the documentation provided in this notice, and submit their applications to: targetedfund@ukpact.co.uk
