The procurement process is in the planning stage with a key milestone of the engagement end date set for 17th April 2024. The tender involves foreign economic aid-related services and is expected to commence in Summer 2024, with a budget of up to £6m running until 2030. This tender offers opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) interested in providing subcontracting services, operational support, and logistical assistance for the FCLP Secretariat. Businesses in the international development industry category are well-suited to compete in this process, aiming to support the ambitious programme of work from 2024 to 2030, initiated under the UK Presidency of COP26. ## Notice Under the UK Presidency of COP26, over 140 governments signed the Glasgow Leaders' Declaration (GLD) on Forests and Land Use, agreeing to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030, while delivering sustainable development. To deliver on this commitment, the UK Presidency helped, in consultation with other members, to establish the Forest and Climate Leaders' Partnership (FCLP), a coalition of high ambition governments to work together to deliver the goals of the GLD. To drive ambition, FCLP combines a political platform that keeps a spotlight on forests and provides forcing moments for decisions, with focussed 'Action Areas' that support collective solutions to overcome barriers to forest protection. This programme will support the establishment and running of a Secretariat that will enable members of the FCLP to deliver an ambitious, high impact programme of work from 2024-2030. The main purpose of the Contract for the Operational Delivery Partner is to complement the functions currently held by UNDP in supporting the FCLP Secretariat's ambitious workplan to 2030. The FCLP Secretariat is currently reviewing its formal hosting options so the objectives and functions required may evolve as the governance review is completed. The objectives of the Operational Delivery Partner are to support the establishment and running of a Secretariat that will enable members of the FCLP to deliver an ambitious, high impact programme of work 2024-2030. The Operational Delivery Partner will provide the following functions, with a particular focus on sub-contracting delivery of work under the Action Areas and managing any additional contributions that can materialise from other donors and private sector funders: 1. Sub-contracting service providers, staff and consultancies 2. Provide support to the Secretariat in its daily operations. 3. Administrative and logistical support for meetings and events; The Contract is planned to commence in Summer 2024, following an open procurement competition expected to commence in Spring 2024. The Agreement would have a maximum budget of up to PS6m and would, with extensions, run until 2030. Full details of this Arrangement are expected to be refined during the market engagement activity.
