## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is currently planning a tender titled "Grant Competition Update for the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund", which falls under the Environmental Management category. This procurement process aims to allocate funding for projects aimed at reducing poverty and restoring biodiversity in critical global landscapes. The contract period will run from 13 February 2023 to 29 September 2029, with applications for the Lower Mekong landscape already open since 11 July 2022. Applications for the KAZA and Mesoamerica landscapes are set to open on 1 August 2022, while those for the Andes Amazon and Western Congo Basin will launch in August; exact dates for these will be announced later.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for a range of businesses, particularly non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society organisations (CSOs), private sector partners, multilateral organisations, social development organisations, and academic institutions. By forming consortia and submitting grouped applications under a single Lead Delivery Partner, these entities can access funding aimed at environmental projects with considerable societal impact. Importantly, governments and parastatal organisations are not eligible to apply, ensuring a focus on collaborative projects led by eligible partners.

## Notice

At the 2019 UN General Assembly the Prime Minister announced a PS100m Biodiverse Landscapes Fund (BLF) which aims to reduce poverty, protect and restore biodiversity and lessen the impact of climate change in six environmentally critical landscapes across the globe. The Fund will run from 2022 to 2029. The Authority is currently seeking to fund projects in the following landscapes: * Andes Amazon, covering areas of Ecuador and Peru; * The Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), covering areas of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe; * Lower Mekong, covering areas of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam; * Mesoamerica, covering areas of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras; and * Western Congo Basin, covering areas of Cameroon, Gabon and Republic of Congo Applications will open on different dates depending on the landscape. * Lower Mekong: Applications already open. * KAZA and Mesoamerica: Applications will open 1 August 2022. * Andes Amazon and Western Congo Basin: Applications will be launched in August. Launch dates for these landscapes will be confirmed in a subsequent notice. More information will be available on the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund application portal on the day of launch: https://biodiverse-landscapes-fund.my.site.com/blf/s/ Who can apply for the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund The Authority expects potential Delivery Partners to form consortia and submit grouped applications under a single Lead Delivery Partner for each Landscape. Applicants eligible to apply include, but are not limited to: * Nongovernmental Organisations (NGOs) * Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) * Private sector partners * Multilateral organisations including UN Bodies * Social development organisations * Academic institutions BLF funding cannot be awarded to governments or parastatal organisations. Governments and parastatal bodies may not therefore apply as either a lead delivery partner, or a consortium member.
