This procurement process, detailed as a market engagement notice, focuses on accelerating climate finance access for Mauritius under the Foreign economic-aid-related services category. Key dates include an engagement event scheduled for Wednesday, 4 December, at 10am (UK time). The procurement process is aimed at developing and managing interventions outlined in a Climate Finance Strategy and Roadmap, with up to £12 million (~MUR 736m) allocated. The FCDO, based in London, is seeking market input regarding the deliverables that may include technical assistance, a Climate Finance Stakeholders Platform, and a Climate Finance Unit. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in international development, climate policy, and technical consultancy. SMEs and VCSEs with expertise in managing international climate finance initiatives, providing technical support, or designing and implementing policy frameworks are well-suited to participate. Engaging in this process can lead to significant business growth, offering opportunities to partner with the UK Government and the Government of Mauritius in high-impact climate finance activities, fostering both local and international collaboration. ## Notice Established following COP26 Presidency's Climate and Development Ministerial in March 2021, the Taskforce on Access to Climate Finance ('the Taskforce') is a response to calls from climate vulnerable countries that access to climate finance is slow, complex and not of sufficient scale. Mauritius is one of seven Pioneer Countries which aims to address these inadequacies though a national-level structured programme of interventions. Since 2023, the Government of Mauritius and the UK, as anchor donor of the trial, work in partnership to mobilise finance, strengthen climate policy, drive capacity building and manage inclusive platforms to coordinate climate finance activities. Following a period of consultation, the Taskforce has now finalised a Climate Finance Strategy and Roadmap with up to PS12 million (~MUR 736m) allocated to the Taskforce in Mauritius. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office is exploring options on how to deliver and manage Taskforce deliverables and is seeking input from the market. Deliverables may include technical assistance, management of a Climate Finance Stakeholders Platform and the design and operationalisation of a Climate Finance Unit. The Delivery Partner will work closely with the team which comprises a Senior Technical Cooperation Adviser and Programme Implementation Lead (FCDO), a Strategic Adviser (consultant) and teams across Government, private sector, civil society and academia. An engagement event will take place on Wednesday 4 December at 10am (UK time). This notice is for engagement purposes only and not a call for competition at this time.
