## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) for a project titled "Grant Competition Update for the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund," focusing on environmental protection services. This initiative is set to facilitate funding for diverse ecological projects across six significant landscapes, including regions in Ecuador, Peru, Angola, Botswana, and Vietnam. The process is currently in the planning stage, with applications for the Lower Mekong already open and those for the Kavango Zambezi and Mesoamerica set to open on 1 August 2022. Upcoming launches for the Andes Amazon and Western Congo Basin will be confirmed later in August 2022. The total funding available amounts to £75 million, aimed at reducing poverty and enhancing biodiversity from 2022 to 2029.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in environmental management, conservation, and related fields. Ideal candidates for participation include non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society organisations (CSOs), private sector firms, multilateral organisations, and academic institutions. The requirement for consortia led by a single Delivery Partner for each landscape emphasises collaboration, making it advantageous for smaller organisations to partner with others in the industry. This funding initiative not only supports global biodiversity and climate goals but also represents a significant avenue for growth and innovation for eligible businesses within the environmental sector.

## 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.
