Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is being conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) for a project titled "Grant Competition Update for the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund," focusing on environmental protection services. This initiative is set to facilitate funding for diverse ecological projects across six significant landscapes, including regions in Ecuador, Peru, Angola, Botswana, and Vietnam. The process is currently in the planning stage, with applications for the Lower Mekong already open and those for the Kavango Zambezi and Mesoamerica set to open on 1 August 2022. Upcoming launches for the Andes Amazon and Western Congo Basin will be confirmed later in August 2022. The total funding available amounts to £75 million, aimed at reducing poverty and enhancing biodiversity from 2022 to 2029.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in environmental management, conservation, and related fields. Ideal candidates for participation include non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society organisations (CSOs), private sector firms, multilateral organisations, and academic institutions. The requirement for consortia led by a single Delivery Partner for each landscape emphasises collaboration, making it advantageous for smaller organisations to partner with others in the industry. This funding initiative not only supports global biodiversity and climate goals but also represents a significant avenue for growth and innovation for eligible businesses within the environmental sector.
