## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Technical Advisory Services for Urban Climate Change Project in China." This project, classified under environmental issues consultancy services (CPV code: 90713000), aimed to address gaps in China's National Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The contract was awarded to ICF Consulting Limited for a total value of £99,600, with a contract period running from 2nd December 2021 to 31st March 2022. The procurement method employed was a direct single tender action, and the tender period ended on 18th November 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, particularly those with experience in climate change projects and greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, given the focus on UK expertise transfer to enhance the development of China's ETS. Engaging in such projects could lead to expanded networks, enhanced service offerings, and potential collaboration with large organisations like ICF Consulting Limited.

On the top of this gaps analysis, the supplier will draw up an analysis of relevant UK expertise, matching this to the gaps identified, and produce a tangible plan for transferring expertise and knowledge to influence the development of China's ETS. The Contract may extend for a period of up to 6 months.
