This procurement falls under the "services" category and is part of the WMCA's broader strategy to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2041. With a total contract value of £50,000, the tender period closes on 4th March 2022, while the contract is set to commence on 1st April 2022 and continue until 30th November 2022. Businesses interested in participating must register on the WMCA's eTendering portal to access the documents and submit their proposals by the deadline. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and related services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). The contract's focus on climate change adaptation will attract companies with expertise in risk assessment, adaptation strategies, and environmental data analysis. Firms that can demonstrate innovative solutions to help the WMCA and its partners address climate impacts across the West Midlands are especially well-positioned to compete for this contract, thus contributing to the region’s environmental goals while fostering business growth. ## Notice In June 2019, the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) declared a climate emergency and the WMCA Board agreed a target for the region to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2041. A 'green paper' was written to indicate how the region could take action in order to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2041. This was approved by the Combined Authority Board in January 2020 for consultation until 12th March 2020. Since the approval of this paper the Environment & Energy Programme has developed into broad areas of net zero, energy systems, natural capital and the circular economy, with corresponding plans or strategies that shape delivery activity. Each of these areas of work has its own plan with detailed data and intelligence to underpin the actions of WMCA and partners in the region. Climate change adaptation has, until recently, been less well understood in our work and more widely by the region's organisations and businesses. The WMCA recently worked with the Environment Agency (EA) and Sustainability West Midlands (SWM) to support the development of a plan for the whole region (not just the WMCA area), the West Midlands Climate Change Adaptation Plan. More widely, the UK Government recently published the UK's Third Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA3) following on from the Independent Assessment of UK Climate Risk by the Climate Change Committee in June 2021. The contract requires a series of outputs including: 1. A high level summary of the climate change scenarios, likely impacts and prioritised risks across the WMCA area to be developed into a clear report for publication 2. The role, responsibilities and opportunities for WMCA in helping the region adapt to climate change 3. The next steps in evidence, data and mapping relating to enable a better understanding of climate impacts across the West Midlands 4. An overview of the adaptation financing options 5. A summary of the approaches to climate adaptation in other regions and UK cities Additional information: Tender documents can be obtained from the eTendering portal - https://wmca.bravosolution.co.uk click on "Current Opportunities" To access the documents, all interested parties need to register on our e-tendering portal.
