This is the markets opportunity to engage with the Authority prior to publication of the planned tender. Through this Terms of Reference (ToR), the Authority is seeking a Supplier to carry out an assessment of the IWT supply chain from the lens of key countries. A core component of this assessment will be a political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental analysis to understand to what extent these factors influence IWT supply chains in each country. This analysis will provide a supporting evidence base for the development of future UK interventions to counter IWT, based on an accurate picture of the IWT situation in country. This includes building an understanding of transnational supply chains, best practice, opportunities, and priority of interventions. This analysis will be focused within Cambodia, China, Laos, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Vietnam. These countries have been chosen due to their interaction with known significant IWT supply chains and represent supply, transit and destination countries. These countries represent an interest for the UK in terms of recognising the scale of the issue and impact on supply chains, building the evidence base to support future engagement, including opportunities to build on existing best practice interventions, and expand on/ complement existing UK programming and engagement. The analysis will be split into 4 workstreams to be undertaken in each country: Workstream 1: Provide an overview of the IWT situation in each country, and the role of each country directly or indirectly in global IWT, through supply, transit and/or demand of illegal products. Identify the key geographical linkages through the supply chain and review the evidence relating to trends and scale of IWT. Workstream 2: Provide a detailed assessment of the political, economic, social, technological, cultural, and environmental factors in country that are driving the illegal wildlife trade and the significance and scale of each factor in facilitating it. Workstream 3: Identify current interventions within countries, assessing their effectiveness in delivering change (including identifying other donors and their activities), and any gaps in existing approaches. Workstream 4: Building on Workstream 3, identify gaps in counter IWT interventions and outcomes, including where activities could be enhanced and expanded. Applying lessons learned from Workstream 2, assess these gaps for opportunities for future engagement, including considering: evidence of need; evidence of effectiveness; feasibility and potential constraints; impact on IWT; scalability and sustainability. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b9dd1877-59d7-4047-bccb-885f9b415ac1 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2022 - 31 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S9 4WF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | Darnall | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield South East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 03000000 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90700000 - Environmental services - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services - 92534000 - Wildlife preservation services ## Release History - 22 Feb 2022 at 16:02 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b9dd1877-59d7-4047-bccb-885f9b415ac1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b9dd1877-59d7-4047-bccb-885f9b415ac1 22nd February 2022 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a0cddfaf-58ed-47ce-8b7f-98d56f5cb796 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/953813fb-2693-4c63-b521-3985c1d45cc0 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
