The event aims to gather market input on the proposed business case to address capacity and technical barriers in implementing NDCs, focusing on policy development, finance measures, and energy demand. The event deadline for engagement is on August 10, 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses interested in foreign economic-aid-related services aimed at the ASEAN region to participate in shaping the programme. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are considered well-suited for engaging in this planning stage to influence the procurement route and strategy of the programme. ## Notice This notice is for an EME event only - NOT for a call for competition. The EME event is being held at 9.30am BST on 10th Aug 2023. To participate in the EME you MUST register via this link https://forms.office.com/e/BwM0E10XjF The purpose of the event is to get market input on the proposed business case The programme will address capacity and technical barriers to implementing NDCs. The programme will focus on three areas to help implement headline Net Zero commitments consistent with objectives of speed, cost-effectiveness, and equity: 1. Policy and institutional capacity development, reforms, and frameworks to align with the Glasgow Climate Pact. 2. Supply of finance measures, particularly around effective use of carbon pricing, to accelerate flows into mitigation and adaptation projects. 3. Demand for energy measures including energy efficiency. Expected benefits include (non-exhaustive): - increase in price of carbon in highest emitting sectors and regions, with increased honest, reliable investment in the most economic mitigation projects in NDCs - cost-effective reduction in emissions through demand-side measures - Increased 1.5degC aligned NDCs supported by good implementation plans. The programme will involve a mix of bilateral and regional activity. UK posts in each AMS will shape bilateral activities to ensure a bespoke approach in each country. Regional activities will be implemented when harmonisation between countries is needed or where the same offer can be made in multiple countries to leverage economies of scale. The programme will work at three levels: - Where possible, it will engage bilaterally in all AMS (see Myanmar details below), recognising the diversity of ASEAN needs under the programme priorities. - Connect these country-level interventions at a regional level and work across borders to amplify impact and leverage economies of scale. - Work with ASEAN institutions to build capacity and support ASEAN regional bodies to address these priority issues regionally and support ASEAN strategies.

The purpose of this notice is to explore the market, inform the Business Case and help us to decide on the best procurement route and strategy. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/466a951a-cfbd-4ab1-9b18-5db2b3927dd7 | | Notice type | Market Engagement 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 | 25 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 10 Aug 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FOREIGN COMMONWEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services ## Release History - 25 Jul 2023 at 10:58 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/466a951a-cfbd-4ab1-9b18-5db2b3927dd7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/466a951a-cfbd-4ab1-9b18-5db2b3927dd7 25th July 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://forms.office.com/e/BwM0E10XjF EME link ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
