Please see the ToR for further detail.* Overarching purpose: The overall aim of this project is to deliver a report on the most effective lever(s) for financial institutions and investors to influence sovereign countries to deliver on their Paris Agreement Nationally-Determined Contributions (NDCs) and required net zero climate action. The focus of this initiative is to explore the most effective levers available to finance sector participants, including investors, for influencing sovereign action in support of the net zero transition (including the potential role of sovereign transition plans). The scope of the work is to seek to answer the following three questions: 1. What are currently the most effective tools for financial institutions to understand countries' delivery of net zero goals - and could they be improved, in support of broad-based transparency? 2. If information is missing and/or not reported, what role might sovereign transition plans play to fill the gaps? 3. What levers do finance sector participants, including investors, have to drive sovereign climate progress, including to assess the robustness of a country's climate strategy, and provide incentives for action by sovereigns (or to hold to account)? * Case studies to highlight situations and levers: o UK case study o Developing World/Global South case study ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8de45879-08d8-44ed-8697-0a1d6f9509ab | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 25 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Aug 2023 - 20 Oct 2023 | | 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 | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 25 Jul 2023 at 11:57 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8de45879-08d8-44ed-8697-0a1d6f9509ab - 25 Jul 2023 at 08:44 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8de45879-08d8-44ed-8697-0a1d6f9509ab - 18 Jul 2023 at 13:59 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8de45879-08d8-44ed-8697-0a1d6f9509ab - 14 Jul 2023 at 16:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8de45879-08d8-44ed-8697-0a1d6f9509ab - 12 Jul 2023 at 08:33 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8de45879-08d8-44ed-8697-0a1d6f9509ab - 10 Jul 2023 at 18:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8de45879-08d8-44ed-8697-0a1d6f9509ab ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8de45879-08d8-44ed-8697-0a1d6f9509ab 25th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ecef6e97-e336-41f3-b724-adc8035e13b9 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/99671917-8ca0-47b5-9cfd-18f89931b42f - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0d9abd30-8878-4e96-9dce-869e6d6b7103 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/86d29baa-95db-4e9e-8f92-a2a504da3f17 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/abb16df4-2b02-4e10-895b-fd48691567b4 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8fab8462-a40c-4480-8312-250e335a237c - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2c927440-b583-40db-b653-52d5efa9163c ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
