## Summary

The WWF-UK (World Wide Fund for Nature) Trading Limited is seeking proposals for a project titled "Request for proposals to undertake a synthesis of information on, and preliminary modelling of, the global economic impacts of changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services." This procurement falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, and is currently in the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 9 February 2018. The project is geographically open to submissions from the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and beyond, with initial contracts expected to commence on 23 February 2018 and continue through to 31 August 2018. The procurement method applied is an open procedure, below threshold.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental consultancy and economic modelling, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can demonstrate expertise in synthesising environmental data and developing economic scenarios linked to biodiversity would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project not only presents a chance to expand business capabilities but also contributes to critical global discussions on sustainability and conservation efforts.

## Notice

This work is part of a longer-term project initiated by WWF, the overall aim of which is to help strengthen the evidence base on the potential global consequences of changes in BES for the global economy through innovative environment-economy modelling work. The ambition is that, in doing so, the project will help to inform policy in the run up to key global policy discussions in 2020, relating to the protection, improvement and sustainable use of the world's critical natural systems. Phase 1 of the project (scoping) has already been completed and identified a preferred modelling approach, setting out a clear process with a series of sequential phases. The immediate priority now is to commission Phase 2, including a synthesis of existing information, development of scenarios and preliminary modelling. This ToR sets out the requirements for this Phase 2 work.
