Notice Title
Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) 2 - Evaluation Partner
Notice Description
This procurement exercise aims to source a supplier to act as an Evaluation Partner for CFA 2. Evaluation activities are essential given the continued evolution, enlarged scope, and expanded duration of CFA, which increases the opportunities to build and share the evidence base for capacity building programs. Climate accelerator programs are increasing in number, though CFA continues to be differentiated in its ability to link entrepreneurs with public and private stakeholders across multiple sectors, geographies, and project types, and its focus on more mature projects that are seeking commercial investment rather than earlier-stage projects seeking pre-seed support. Opportunities to test the CFA relevance and additionality in a dynamic climate finance landscape will be key to its continued relevance, impact, and value. This requirement is being sourced via the Open procedure under PCR (2015). The contract is estimated to commence in June 2025 and end in December 2029. The contract value will be up to PS1,000,000 excluding UK VAT but including all other taxes. There is an option to extend, by an additional 36 months and PS3,050,000 excluding UK VAT but including all other taxes. Bringing the maximum potential contract value to PS4,050,000 excluding UK VAT but including all other taxes.
