This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in financial administration, fund management, or related advisory services. Businesses eager to expand their outreach in urban development and low carbon projects in line with public funding initiatives, particularly those addressing market failures in finance supply, would be well-suited to compete for this contract.
