This initiative aims to support climate action by enhancing green businesses and connecting them with investors. The procurement is at the planning stage with a tender end date of 26th September 2024. The contract period is set from 31st January 2025 to 31st January 2030, with a total potential value of up to £161.75 million. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses focusing on global management, stakeholder engagement, project support, and monitoring and evaluation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to participate. The contract includes scope for extensions and modifications, offering potential for sustained business growth and the expansion of climate-resilient projects across 16 countries. ## Notice The Climate Finance Accelerator is part of the UK's efforts to support climate action at scale by improving the quality of emerging green businesses and initiatives in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies and matches them to relevant investors. It also fosters action to address relevant policy and regulatory barriers. So far, under the current PS12.4m phase of the programme, nearly 200 projects have been supported across ten countries. The first 30 of these projects have progressed to close deals worth $344m. The CFA is funded by UK Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), under the International Climate Finance (ICF) portfolio, as part of the UK Government's PS11.6 billion commitment to support ODA-eligible countries to respond to the challenges and opportunities of climate change. DESNZ is procuring the next phase of the programme. The second phase of CFA (CFA 2) is expected to support at least 800 projects in 16 countries. The Department is looking to commission a Global Delivery Partner for CFA 2 to manage, oversee and deliver the programme. The programme will provide technical support to minimum 800 projects across 16 countries. CFA 2 aims to increase the flow of predominantly private sector climate finance to support low-carbon climate resilient projects with sustainable development benefits and, in doing so, support the implementation of supported countries' climate mitigation efforts. To meet this objective, CFA 2 will develop a high-volume pipeline of bankable projects in EMDEs that dovetail with upstream progress to enable the investment environment. Working closely with investors, CFA 2 will increase investor interest and appetite to engage with and invest in low-carbon projects in supported countries.
