The work advises the Federal Government of Somalia on establishing a National Climate Fund, including practical institutional arrangements, inclusive governance, coordination mechanisms and transparent financial controls. It also covers improving access to multilateral climate funds, engaging Somali businesses and civil society, and building the capacity of national stakeholders to develop a coherent, inclusive pipeline of climate-related initiatives. This is climate-finance and institutional-development consultancy, rather than the delivery of physical infrastructure. The intended work is focused on Somalia and its national institutions, with engagement extending to development partners, private-sector organisations and civil-society groups. The procurement is complete and was awarded to DAI Global UK Ltd on 23 September 2026. The contract is valued at £599,579.70, compared with an estimated procurement value of £899,579.70. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 25 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded through a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The published procurement information records one award and does not divide the work into lots. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete. The stated scope centres on advice and technical assistance to strengthen climate-finance institutions, access to funding, stakeholder engagement and national capacity. For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for specialist climate-finance and institutional-development advice focused on Somalia. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show it can advise government counterparts on fund design, inclusive governance, coordination and transparent financial controls, as well as support access to multilateral climate finance. The work also calls for effective engagement with private-sector organisations, civil society and development partners, and the ability to build capacity across national stakeholders to develop a coherent pipeline of climate-related initiatives. The buyer identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and used a selective framework call-off route. ## Notice The contract will provide technical assistance to ensure Somalia is progressively better positioned to mobilise, manage and coordinate increased flows of climate finance. It will focus on advising the Federal Government of Somalia on how best to operationalise an appropriate and well-structured National Climate Fund, with clear and inclusive governance arrangements, effective coordination mechanisms and transparent fiduciary systems. The focus will be on establishing practical institutional arrangements that can function reliably and build confidence among national counterparts and development partners. The programme will advise on approaches to expand access to climate finance from multilateral funds, strengthen engagement with Somali private sector actors and wider civil society, and enhance national capacity across all relevant national stakeholders to prepare and advance a coherent and inclusive pipeline of climate relevant initiatives. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d30dfb0-9dea-4659-ac88-1990a0f28656 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Sep 2026 | | Contract period | 25 Sep 2026 - 25 Sep 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £899,579 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £599,579 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office | | Locality | LONDON | | Postcode area | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DAI Global UK Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services ## Release History - 23 Sep 2026 at 13:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d30dfb0-9dea-4659-ac88-1990a0f28656 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d30dfb0-9dea-4659-ac88-1990a0f28656 23rd September 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ab08924e-cd9d-42d1-b190-7a90c118fd33 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
