## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is overseeing the "COAST Component A" project aimed at improving the adaptive capacities, climate resilience, and prosperity of vulnerable coastal communities. The project focuses on protecting and sustainably managing coastal habitats, improving small-scale fisheries, and promoting sustainable aquaculture. With activities planned across six priority countries—including Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mozambique, Nigeria, the UK, and Vietnam—the procurement stage is in the award phase. Significant dates include the contract signing on 18 November 2024, with notable procurement methods involving a restricted procedure.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses in environmental services, aquaculture, and related sectors. Companies with experience in coastal habitat management, small-scale fisheries, and aquaculture sustainability are well-suited to compete. The project offers subcontracting opportunities with a substantial value of £550,000 earmarked for specialist subcontractors. The procurement process, including electronic submissions, ensures a fair and competitive environment, making it an attractive proposition for businesses looking to expand their operations in the international development sector.

## Notice

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. To achieve this aim, COAST will focus on three outcome themes, based around areas with good underpinning evidence: protecting, restoring and sustainably managing coastal habitats and nature based solutions (e.g. mangroves, seagrass, corals) improving small scale fisheries' sustainability, productivity and resilience unlocking more sustainable, less intensive aquaculture. Component A will deliver integrated activities across COAST's themes at a range of scales through three sub-components. To maximise impact and scale, sub-components 1 and 2 will be focused in up to six priority countries, whilst flexibility will be retained in sub-component 3 to support activities in any ODA eligible country. This ITT is to appoint a Supplier to deliver this Component (Component A).
