This procurement falls within the services industry, specifically under research consultancy services (CPV code 73210000). The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 28 December 2021. The project will take place in London, UK, commencing on 14 January 2022 and concluding on 31 March 2022, with an open procedure below threshold for the procurement method. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in environmental research, gender studies, and policy development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find it especially advantageous to compete due to the focus on addressing key gaps in evidence regarding the gendered aspects of biodiversity. Businesses equipped with expertise in social science research, data analysis, and policy advocacy will be well-suited to meet the project's requirements and contribute to impactful policy recommendations. ## Notice The aim of this project is to provide insight on the differential impacts of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation on women. The project should also identify knowledge gaps in extant evidence on gender and biodiversity, identify new evidence to fill the gaps identified, and to develop policy recommendations and potential actions governments and other actors can take to address these issues. -Focusing on key gaps in evidence including the differential impacts of biodiversity loss and environmental degradation on women, including consideration of women in different marginalised groups (including but not limited to women from indigenous communities, lower socioeconomic and deprived backgrounds, women of colour and ethnic minority backgrounds); and barriers to inclusion within the solutions to environmental degradation and biodiversity loss of women, including women in marginalised groups. - Creating policy recommendations that are impactful in tackling these issues. Due to persisting gender inequalities, women and men experience the impacts of environmental degradation and biodiversity loss differently. Heavier reliance on natural resources, differences in the rights and access to land, biological resources and ecosystem services, and gender-based differences and inequalities (or gaps) which stem from cultural norms which tend to favour men, mean that the impacts of biodiversity loss are felt more acutely by women. This is particularly true of women from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds who face multiple inequalities exacerbating effects on health and livelihoods. However, the existing literature on the gendered impacts of environmental degradation for both developed and developing countries focuses largely on the links between gender and climate change. There is a lack of evidence addressing the links between gender and biodiversity loss/environmental degradation across a range of topics, including differential outcomes and the inclusion of women and other marginalised groups in developing solutions. It is crucial for policy makers to better understand how their domestic and international actions and policies can exacerbate these unequal impacts in their own and developing countries. To better understand the current body of evidence and ensure this is mainstreamed into our international negotiations and policy at multilateral fora, DEFRA is looking to fund a report reviewing the existing evidence (synthesising it and identifying knowledge gaps), source new evidence to address the gaps identified and propose policy recommendations and potential actions for government policymakers and other actors to address gender inequalities impacting on, and resulting from biodiversity loss and environmental degradation. The output of this project will be presented to Parties at various international fora, including the G7 in support of discussions on gender equality, and to provide a basis to stimulate further research. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/608e5866-aced-48d3-b104-c3db5e6d30df | | 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 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | 28 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Jan 2022 - 31 Mar 2022 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | 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 | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 3 Dec 2021 at 17:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/608e5866-aced-48d3-b104-c3db5e6d30df ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/608e5866-aced-48d3-b104-c3db5e6d30df 3rd December 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b4dbbf1a-dcdd-4a04-b1f4-5f6a9ab32b37 n/a - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
