The tender, which falls under the industry classification of auditing services (CPV Code: 79212000), is currently in the active Tender stage, with a closing date for submissions set for 1st October 2020. The contract period will commence on 16th November 2020 and continue until 16th November 2023, covering various regions including East Africa, West & Central Africa, South East Asia, and Latin America. The overall value of the contract is £150,000, and this open procurement process allows participants to submit bids for one or multiple regions through a detailed proposal process. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses with experience in auditing, particularly those specialising in grants and financial compliance. Firms capable of delivering comprehensive audit services across diverse geographical areas would be well-suited to compete, either individually or in consortia. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in ensuring that funds disbursed under the Partnerships for Forests initiative have been used appropriately, supporting sustainable investment and responsible forest management across multiple regions. ## Notice Partnerships for Forests (P4F) supports investment models in which the private sector, public sector and communities can achieve improved returns from sustainable forests and sustainable land use. By creating market-ready 'Forest Partnerships' that offer an attractive balance of risks and benefits for the private sector, public sector and communities, the programme aims to mobilise significant investment, principally from the private sector. Through grants and technical assistance, the programme helps selected partners move through the stages required to get to market - from idea development and memorandum of understanding (MOU), to business planning, to deal negotiation and piloting, and finally to commercial scale-up. The programme also supports demand side measures that strengthen demand for sustainable commodities, and activities to create the right enabling conditions for sustainable investment. Palladium seeks to procure an Auditor to conduct audits on a number of Grants and Subcontracts between 2020 and 2023, so as to verify that recipients of Partnerships for Forests funds have expended those funds in accordance with the terms of their Grant Agreement or Subcontract. The procurement is for an Auditor for all of the regions where Partnerships for Forests operates (East Africa, West & Central Africa, South East Asia, Latin America and Global - the Partnerships for Forests Regions). Tenderers should note, however, that a separate Technical and Financial Submission must be submitted for each Partnerships for Forests Region. Entities, may submit a bid for all of the Partnerships for Forests Regions as an organisation individually or as a consortium. Only bids that cover all Regions will be considered. The publicly available Invitation to Tender (ITT) contains the Terms of Reference (TOR), the technical and financial selection criteria and the conditions of tender. Also available is the contract template.
