The buying organisation, WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED, based in Woking, England, is seeking consultancy services to evaluate the project's effectiveness and impact. The contract period is scheduled from October 31, 2022, to December 21, 2022, with a tender submission deadline of October 12, 2022. The project falls under the main procurement category of services and offers business opportunities for firms specializing in research and development consultancy services. This tender initiated by WWF-UK can be beneficial for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations who have expertise in conducting project evaluations. The consultancy aims to assess the project's outcomes, governance arrangements, and sustainability, with a focus on gender issues. Businesses interested in conducting evaluations, providing recommendations for future project design, and contributing to legal and policy reforms in forest governance can leverage this opportunity to grow their operations and impact in the research and development consultancy sector. ## Notice The Forest Governance, Markets and Climate ('FGMC') programme is a global programme of UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office ('FCDO') with the broad aim of bringing about governance and market reforms that reduce the illegal use of forest resources and benefit people who depend on forests for their livelihoods. As part of global efforts to improve forest management and tackle deforestation, FGMC supports international policy processes which tackle illegal logging in timber-producing developing countries and the trade in illegally produced timber products. The programme focuses on policy and legal reforms that eliminate illegal logging and illegal deforestation, establish transparency, promote legal trade and ensure rights and benefits for people from lower socio-economic backgrounds, local communities and indigenous people. The FGMC approach enables local interests (government, private sector and civil society) to come together to address and settle long standing grievances and injustices through a formal, inclusive, facilitated and reasoned process of deliberation, that bestows legitimacy on legal reforms. Legal and policy reforms that have been reached and legitimised through a process of deliberation are more likely to be regarded as fair and, therefore, enforced. The focus of the final phase of the programme is about securing and institutionalising these gains. 3. CONSULTANCY PURPOSE The purpose of this consultancy is to conduct an evaluation of the projects' relevance, design, effectiveness, impact, sustainability and value for money. It should also review gender issues and governance arrangements and all these aspects will inform new project design. Specifically, this consultancy seeks to: a) Understand whether the project has achieved its intended outcome and outputs, as outlined in the project's logframe and theory of change b) Review the project's management and governance arrangements, including the link between country partners, network offices, WWF China and WWF-UK c) Provide WWF-UK with recommendations on what should be retained in future FGMC projects and if any, how arrangements to managing the grants should be changed in future. The evaluation will be used to validate results for inclusion in the project completion reports (due late January 2023 - tbc) and recommendations will also be used to inform the design of the next phase of work as well as any applications to the next round of FGMC funding (expected mid 2023). Please see attached word document for further information. Those wishing to be considered for this consultancy should submit their CV along with their daily consultant rates and an estimated number of days needed to meet the requirements specified above, by sending an email to John Dodsworth (JDodsworth@wwf.org.uk) and Deborah Mackay (DMackay@wwf.org.uk) by Wednesday 12th October 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22800504-90be-430a-b331-2f88f377592e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 12 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Oct 2022 - 21 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | 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 ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 3 Oct 2022 at 08:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22800504-90be-430a-b331-2f88f377592e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/22800504-90be-430a-b331-2f88f377592e 3rd October 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6b461cc8-4861-450b-bc85-6a5f92774adc - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6e85f065-456d-4d94-8f3c-b55c903dc7c1 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
