Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is currently in the planning stage of the "Congo Basin Forestry Action Programme," which falls under the industry category of foreign economic-aid-related services (CPV code 75211200). This project aims to address deforestation in the Congo Basin through sustainable agricultural practices and community forests. A crucial event, the Early Market Engagement (EME), is scheduled for 1st October 2024 at 10am UK time. Key locations for this programme include the Congo (CD), the Republic of Congo (CG), and Gabon (GA). The programme, which has a budget of £60,000,000, is still determining its route to market, and further notices are expected on 25th November 2024.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in sustainable agriculture, agroforestry, and community development. Companies with expertise in these areas, particularly those experienced in working in African regions, would find this contract highly lucrative. Additionally, entities skilled in securing land tenure rights and enhancing local capacities can significantly contribute to the project's long-term success. The focus on co-design and co-ownership with beneficiaries suggests that firms proficient in collaborative programme design and implementation will have a competitive edge. This is an innovative initiative with significant growth potential for companies vested in sustainable environmental and economic development.

Notice Title

Congo Basin Forestry Action Programme

Notice Description

This notice is for an 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 At this time the route to market has yet to be determined 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 focused on 2 components and is a follow up to the event held earlier in 2024, with the latest developments to the ToR and timescales Component 1 - Community Forests Component 2 - FCDO Partners Facility
