## Summary

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero has announced the completion of the Green Finance Toolkit project. This procurement, classified under the CPV code 75211200 for foreign economic-aid-related services, falls under the services category and aims to develop tools to align global financial flows with the goals of the Paris Agreement. The work was primarily conducted in the UK, and the procurement process used an open procedure method. Awarded to Grant Thornton UK LLP, the contract was signed on 23rd July 2024 for a total value of £268,743. Various criteria, including methodology, team structure, and social value, were considered for this award.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial analytics, advisory services, and sustainable finance strategies. The outlined deliverables include internal reports, diagnostic toolkits, and comprehensive guides, making it suitable for firms with expertise in policy frameworks and climate finance. Enterprises with experience in delivering high-quality, technical documentation and stakeholder engagement are particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement. Given the scale and scope, this project could greatly enhance business portfolios dealing with large-scale environmental and economic initiatives.

## Notice

Background Putting in place the conditions to align global financial flows with the Paris Agreement's goals is a critical enabler of UK climate policy objectives, including to enable low carbon and climate resilient growth in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). To achieve this, in addition to direct and indirect mobilisation of finance there is a global need for a shift in the financial system. The UK has a number of levers to develop and implement 'greening finance' measures, this includes furthering our domestic policy framework, engaging in multilateral supporting voluntary standards setting initiatives, and through green finance capacity building for EMDEs. Given the pace and scale of the change needed and the globally linked nature of the financial system, it is crucial that technical assistance efforts in EMDEs and global policy initiatives move in tandem to build lasting capacity, enable market access, and ensure environmental integrity. In the 2023 Green Finance Strategy, the UK therefore committed to work with industry and country partners to develop a toolkit for optimising support for the greening of financial systems in EMDEs. This project seeks to achieve this through the development of a Green Finance Toolkit which will provide research insights and tools to support UK government processes and strategy development, including in relation to UK International Climate Finance (ICF) programming. Requirements The Green Finance Toolkit package will include (1) an internal report to government providing lessons learned and recommendations for future specific UK interventions; (2) the development of a Diagnostic Toolkit based on report findings to support engagement with countries and the triaging and sequencing of technical assistance requests; and (3) a set of 'how to' guides setting out how to approach the development of a coherent green finance policy framework, incorporating learning from the UK's approach, to be used in international engagement. These will be HMG-owned products with (1) being an internal document; (2) being used internally and with delivery partners; and (3) being used in external communications. Our preference is for (1) and (2) to be delivered by the same supplier given the close links between the two products, though we welcome separate proposals. (3) could be developed by a separate supplier if beneficial and we would welcome proposals from consortia.
