## Summary

The public procurement process for "RBGKEW 1475 National stakeholder coordination and engagement within the BLF Madagascar/FMH project" was conducted by the Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom. This direct procurement method was deployed for a research and development consultancy service focusing on conservation efforts in Madagascar. The contract, worth £18,462, was signed on 14th August 2025 and is active from 1st September 2025 to 30th March 2026, with a potential 5-month extension. Richard Lewis, a supplier based in Madagascar, was awarded the project, which emphasizes coordination and engagement activities crucial to the project's success within its remaining 24-month window.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in environmental consultancy, research, and international development. Companies with expertise in biodiversity conservation, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable development practices will find this tender particularly relevant. The lack of competition, owing to the direct procurement method, can be advantageous for businesses that are well-positioned to meet the specific demands of the project quickly, especially those with existing operations or partnerships in Madagascar. This contract can serve as a stepping stone for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in environmental and conservation projects on an international scale.

## Notice

The BLF Madagascar is a large conservation research project being carried out in a designated priority country. The proposed consultancy supports capacity to meet with the primary mission of the project. This mission is to provide evidence-based recommendations to the Malagasy government for improving protected area management towards sustaining livelihoods of local communities, lowering biodiversity losses and reducing climate change impacts. Failure to rapidly recruit this consultant in the wake of the loss of our current coordinator will lead to a much lower chance of achieving the mission due the 6-month void that would occur through normal procurement with a further 3-month onboarding requirement for a project of this scale and complexity. This within a 24-month project window remaining.
