This initiative, worth £1,000,000, falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research and development consultancy services aimed at supporting the Colombian government in tackling deforestation in conflict-affected areas. The tender period closes on 9 March 2021, with associated activities commencing the same day. Delivery will take place within the United Kingdom over a contract duration of 6.5 years, ending on 31 December 2027, with potential for extension based on performance and requirements. This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) interested in environmental consultancy, evaluation, and social impact assessment. Businesses specialising in monitoring and evaluation services, as well as those focused on environmental and social research, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement method is open, allowing a broad range of organisations to tender, thus encouraging diverse applications that can demonstrate a clear understanding of the project context and offer innovative solutions to environmental challenges. ## Notice Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) services for the seven-year TEFOS programme which will provide grant funding to support the Government of Colombia (GoC) to tackle deforestation in conflict-affected areas. ### Lot Information Lot 1 TEFOS is a new flagship programme under the BEIS International Climate Finance . It will provide grant funding to support the Government of Colombia to tackle deforestation in conflict-affected areas, through three programme "pillars": i) strengthening land registry systems to incentivise sustainable land management, ii) strengthening the criminal justice system to tackle environmental crime in forestation hotspots, and iii) creating and promoting innovative, sustainable economic opportunities for communities. The MEL Partner will undertake monitoring and evaluation activity, which will assess whether programme outputs, outcomes and impact are being achieved. It will be important that in delivering the requirements, the MEL Supplier assesses how the individual effects of the different pillars work together to be more than the sum of their parts to realise the intended outcomes. Additional information: Draft ToR and a market engagement (ME) questionnaire are available to download from the Delta. There will be a market engagement event on 16.12.2020. Please register via the link below. There will be a questionnaire on our ToR which will help inform our finalized ToR prior to the tender competition being launched. The results of the ME will be published in the tender document. Renewal: The contract is to be for a period of 6.5 years, ending 31st December 2027 unless terminated or extended by the Department in accordance with the terms of the contract. The contract will be let for the full term (6.5 years). If agreed by both parties, the contract may be extended beyond the planned 6.5-year contract duration by up to three years to complete tasks which may have been delayed in delivery, to complete an extension of the same evaluation activities linked to a similar extension of the TEFOS programme or to allow suitable time for handover to a new organisation following re-procurement of comparable services. Take up of any extension period is subject to the Authority's approval and the continuing needs of the contract. The Authority reserves the right to increase the budget of the contract, and this decision would be based on the Authority's available funds and priorities, as well as an assessment of the programme's performance and the performance of the contractor. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002095-2021 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 9 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE DEPARTMENT FOR BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY (BEIS) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0ET | | 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services - 77231500 - Forest monitoring or evaluation services - 79315000 - Social research services - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services ## Release History - 2 Feb 2021 at 18:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/002095-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/2P44WU9H63 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Research-and-development-consultancy-services./2P44WU9H63 - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-energy-and-industrial-strategy ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
