The buying organization, D A I Europe, based in England, sought expertise to analyse and compare risk financing instruments. The tender had a value of £30,000 with a contract period from 11th December 2023 to 29th February 2024, and a tender deadline of 27th November 2023 at 12:00pm. This opportunity provides SMEs and VCSEs in the research and development consultancy services category a chance to engage with global risk management. Businesses with experience in disaster risk finance and comparative assessments are well-suited to compete. D A I Europe, the contracting authority, sought expertise to advance disaster risk finance frameworks, offering a platform to contribute valuable insights and gain exposure in international risk financing initiatives. ## Notice The Centre for Disaster Protection plays a unique role in the global risk management and crisis financing architecture. We were established to address major challenges to effective disaster risk financing and promote more impactful and more equitable disaster risk finance at scale, that leaves no one behind. We're helping to grow the emerging evidence base on how to better reach and support people in need to help ensure that money and plans are in place before a disaster strikes. We work with governments and organisations to create practical and policy solutions, incentivise proactive risk management and risk financing and support risk informed decision making. We are the only international organisation focused on providing impartial technical advice and training on disaster risk finance - we do not implement or sell financial instruments. This term of reference for the Centre is for a consultant to undertake research that help to answer the following question "What is the comparative advantage of Risk Pools as development insurers vis-a-vis other actors financing disaster preparedness and response (e.g. MDBs)?" The consultant will undertake a comparative assessment (Activity 1) of the main concessional development finance instruments currently provided by Multilateral Development Banks and risk pools to governments and humanitarian organisations that provide event-based financing for disasters. This includes financing instruments arranged before or after a shock, and financing instruments that combine event-based financing with other aspects of financing for disaster risk management, such as financing for preparedness or disaster risk reduction. The assessment will include analysis of actual performance of instruments and therefore not be purely theoretical. Within the TOR there is also an option (Activity 2), with mutual agreement of both the Centre and the consultant, to also contribute to the synthesis outputs of the overall project. To apply, please submit your CV, cover letter indicating how your experience and interest aligns with this work, and how you will approach this work (max. 2 pages). As well as an indicative gross daily fee rate expectation. This must be submitted through the DAI Careers portal (https://www.dai.com/careers/search) by Monday the 27th of November at 12:00pm. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/603cb972-9f41-4c5a-89e0-c3a333db4575 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Dec 2023 | | Contract period | 12 Dec 2023 - 30 Sep 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £40,340 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | D A I EUROPE | | Locality | HEMEL HEMPSTEAD | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP3 9TD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Dacorum | | Electoral ward | Kings Langley | | Westminster constituency | South West Hertfordshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MULBERRY LEAF CONSULTING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 3 Jan 2024 at 14:25 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/603cb972-9f41-4c5a-89e0-c3a333db4575 - 15 Nov 2023 at 13:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1b19546e-ecef-445d-a0e2-78eb85d7d674 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/603cb972-9f41-4c5a-89e0-c3a333db4575 3rd January 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1b19546e-ecef-445d-a0e2-78eb85d7d674 15th November 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/043bb60a-a55c-4cbc-b76a-2bc9091047a6 TOR Principal Research Expert for Comparative Assessment ## Notice URLs - https://www.dai.com/careers/search ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
