This procurement process is in the planning stage and focuses on enhancing the impact and value-for-money of the ICF programmes, particularly in climate change mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. The industry sector is classified under foreign economic-aid-related services (CPV: 75211200) and covers a global scope including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. Key dates include the early market engagement event scheduled for 20 September 2024 from 10:00-11:30 UK time, and the end of engagement period on 20 October 2024. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) to contribute to a high-impact international programme. Businesses equipped with expertise in monitoring and evaluation, data analysis, thematic analysis, and international development would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process will rely on integrated and strategic MEL frameworks, offering substantial opportunities for firms able to innovate in data collection, accessibility, and strategic insight. Participation will not only enhance your business’s portfolio but also play a crucial role in global climate change efforts. ## Notice To achieve transformational change in mitigating and adapting to climate change in developing countries, we must maximise the impact and value-for-money of ICF programmes. To understand how to do this requires integrated and strategic portfolio-level MEL. The programme includes several activities proposed jointly by advisers in FCDO, DESNZ, and Defra. This includes updating and improving the ICF monitoring framework (data, thematic analysis, utility) inline with current and emerging UK strategic priorities, international best practice, accessibility standards, and data initiatives. Strategic evidence, including production of an evidence database and evidence gap maps, as well as conducting thematic and long-term evaluations of historic ICF interventions is required to ensure the right evidence is available for decision making. The programme seeks to build and embed an integrated ICF learning system and culture, to enable timely, systematic, and quick learning across the portfolio.
