The consultancy will examine financial flows that impact forested areas in Brazil and Indonesia, aiming to re-align these flows to support forest conservation. This tender falls under the industry category of research and experimental development services and is currently in the tender stage, with the deadline for proposals set for 7th February 2025. The contract is expected to start on 27th February 2025 and conclude on 28th February 2026. The procurement method being used is a competitive quotation below threshold. This opportunity provides significant potential for business growth, especially for consultancies with a strong presence in Brazil and Indonesia. It is particularly suited for SMEs (businesses) and VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) with expertise in economic and environmental consultancy services. Businesses that can form partnerships to ensure local staffing in the study countries stand to benefit the most. The project outcomes will contribute to advocacy efforts at UNFCCC COP30, potentially elevating the participating firms' profiles within the global environmental sector. ## Notice Please read RfQ for full details. WWF-UK invites proposals from economic consultancies to study financial flows to highly forested areas in Brazil and Indonesia. The study will quantify flows that are beneficial and detrimental to forests in the study countries and explore how they can be re-aligned to protect remaining natural forests, replicating Closing the Biodiversity Finance Gap (Deutz, 2020) at a national level for forests. The results will inform advocacy at and around UNFCCC COP30. Proposals are invited from consultancies with staff based in both study countries, or a partnership of two consultancies with one based in each country. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7aa856e7-99ae-42d4-b1e1-25f7bcf3acae | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | 7 Feb 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 27 Feb 2025 - 28 Feb 2026 | | 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 - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 79311400 - Economic research services ## Release History - 16 Jan 2025 at 11:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7aa856e7-99ae-42d4-b1e1-25f7bcf3acae ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7aa856e7-99ae-42d4-b1e1-25f7bcf3acae 16th January 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/adf9e4b4-578b-4001-898c-e315877c33a7 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5fb4a6e9-ab3a-475c-ba27-de7c79cb76e1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/73cbef56-3e2b-42c3-9890-f19537bd54bf - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c770528f-bb98-4b7d-b9b7-037f3271d2d1 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7e7859a4-ebe5-4ecc-a835-c58721229972 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
