The procurement falls under the services category for foreign economic-aid-related services. The purpose of this process is to seek input on the draft Terms of Reference (ToRs) related to COAST, with a total budget of up to £154 million to be delivered between 2023 and March 2030. The main aim is to enhance climate resilience and prosperity for vulnerable coastal communities through improved marine environmental management. This upcoming tender presents opportunities for businesses specialised in foreign economic-aid-related services to engage with the FCDO in delivering the COAST programme. Companies proficient in areas such as coastal habitat restoration, small-scale fisheries sustainability, and aquaculture management may find this tender particularly suitable for their expertise. As the procurement is in the planning stage, interested parties have the chance to provide feedback on the draft ToRs and potentially influence the development and implementation of projects under COAST's Component A across various priority countries and UK Embassies. ## Notice Under the UK's PS500 million Blue Planet Fund, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has launched the new Climate and Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition (COAST) programme. COAST has a total budget of up to PS154 million funded from UK Official Development Assistance only to be delivered between 2023 until March 2030. COAST's aim is to improve the adaptive capacities, climate resilience and prosperity of vulnerable coastal communities, and drive a more sustainable and inclusive management of their marine environment and coastal resources. COAST will be delivered through four components. To achieve this aim, COAST will focus on three outcome themes: (i) protecting, restoring and sustainably managing coastal habitats and nature based solutions (e.g. mangroves, seagrass, corals); (ii) improving small scale fisheries' sustainability, productivity and resilience, and; (iii) unlocking more sustainable, less intensive aquaculture. COAST's Component A - Integrated delivery across COAST's themes in up to six priority countries plus a demand led fund for UK Embassies and High Commissions in ODA eligible host countries to utilise to deliver responsive, strategic projects - will be the key Component under COAST.
