This research project falls under the services category and aims to align the best available models with the KMGBF to provide insight into the changes needed to achieve the framework. The procurement method for this tender is an open procedure, and the deadline for tender submissions is 16th January 2024. The contract period is set to start on 31st January 2024 and end on 31st March 2025. This tender opportunity created by DEFRA presents a chance for businesses specializing in research and development consultancy services to contribute to global biodiversity conservation efforts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate. This project not only offers a commercial opportunity but also aligns with the broader societal goal of halting biodiversity loss and promoting sustainable practices. Businesses with expertise in environmental modelling and scenario planning would be well-suited to compete for this tender. ## Notice Nature is declining globally at rates unprecedented in human history with around 1 million animal and plant species threatened with extinction within decades . Human activities have pushed many species to the brink of extinction and ecosystems to degradation through land- and sea-use change, overexploitation, pollution, climate change, and invasive species. Biodiversity loss is not only an environmental issue, but also a developmental, economic, security, and social one. To date, agreements to halt and reverse biodiversity loss have failed to reach the desired targets. In December 2022, the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), a landmark agreement for biodiversity. It sets out four long-term goals to be achieved by 2050, related to the CBD's 2050 Vision for Biodiversity of "a world of living in harmony with nature where, by 2050, biodiversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used, maintaining ecosystem services, sustaining a healthy planet and delivering benefits essential for all people", and 23 short-term targets to be achieved by 2030, which will contribute towards achieving these goals. The aim of this research is to align and further build on the best available and most appropriate models (biophysical, social, environmental, economic) with the KMGBF to provide clear pathways and insight into the physical, environmental and socio-economic changes that are required to achieve the framework. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a11fa9d-3823-4518-b333-92675176aff9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jan 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Dec 2023 at 12:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a11fa9d-3823-4518-b333-92675176aff9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a11fa9d-3823-4518-b333-92675176aff9 6th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2995beb5-fc10-431f-905b-4aea6f46db83 ITT - C21984 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
