This initiative falls under the category of foreign economic-aid-related services, aiming to support biodiversity conservation across various global hotspots. Key dates include an information day scheduled for 13th January 2022, with deadlines for question submissions set for 10th January 2022. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and the event will be hosted via two web conferences to accommodate international participants. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental services and project management, particularly those with a robust background in large-scale conservation and development projects. Organisations that can form consortia may find this event especially beneficial, as it is designed to facilitate partnerships among interested parties. Access to the event's materials will be provided, allowing potential bidders to understand the Fund’s objectives, project requirements, and expected outcomes in detail, thus enhancing their competitive edge in this important initiative. ## Notice Biodiversity is declining across the world faster than at any other time in human history. In the past 50 years, human pressures have increased while populations of animals, on average, have more than halved. The global rate of species extinction is already from tens to hundreds of times higher than the average rate over the past 10 million years and is accelerating. Drivers of biodiversity loss include habitat loss and land use change (including urban development and agricultural intensification), pollution, invasive species, unsustainable resource use and climate change. To address the challenges facing nature today, the UK Prime Minister announced at the 2019 UN General Assembly a PS220 million International Biodiversity Fund. This includes a PS100m Biodiverse Landscapes Fund to restore key landscapes and their ecosystems. The Biodiverse Landscapes Fund will deliver lasting protection and improvement of biodiversity in six global biodiversity hotspots, by aligning nature conservation and human development objectives at a landscape scale. The landscapes the Fund will target initially are: * Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, covering areas of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe * Mesoamerica, covering areas of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras * Western Congo Basin, covering areas of Cameroon, Gabon and Republic of Congo * Andes Amazon, covering areas of Ecuador and Peru * Lower Mekong, covering areas of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam * Madagascar Each landscape will be allocated PS10m-16m over 7 years. Applications for funding will open in early-mid 2022, with projects expected to start in late 2022 ### Lot Information Lot 1 Stakeholder Engagement Event : We are hosting an information day for interested potential delivery partners on Thursday 13th January 2022. You are invited to join one of the two web conferences we are hosting - one at 0930-1130 GMT, and one at 1430-1630 GMT. The two sessions will be identical and have been scheduled to account for the different time zones of interested parties based outside the UK. This event will be of particular interest to organisations with a track record of delivering high quality, large-scale projects in the interface between conservation and development. We will welcome bids from consortia and hope that this event will be helpful for organisations in forming consortia with others. The event will provide us with an opportunity to share more information about the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund. There will be a presentation from the programme team which will outline the objectives of the Fund, setting out the basis upon which suitable projects will be identified. We will also detail the Fund's procurement processes and timelines, management structure, finance and monitoring and evaluation requirements. Finally, we will share information about the landscapes we are targeting and the indicative outcomes we hope to achieve. There will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions during the event. We also encourage attendees to submit questions to our email address biodiverselandscapesfund@defra.gov.uk before the event, so we can tailor the presentation to areas of interest. The deadline for submitting questions before the event is 0900 GMT Monday 10th January 2022.
