Description

Evaluation services for the four-year Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) programme covering Colombia, Mexico, Nigeria and up to six other countries to be identified. The specific objectives of the contract are to: i) Evaluate programme activities on a frequent basis to examine whether the CFA is achieving its intended outputs, outcomes and impact. ii) Give strategic advice on adaptations that could improve programme performance. iii) Lead on programme learning.

Total Quantity or Scope

The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) Programme is part of the UK Government's commitment to addressing international climate change. The programme supports developing countries to improve the in-country supply chain of bankable, low-carbon projects. The programme will cover up to nine countries. This procurement is to identify an evaluation partner for CFA. The CFA Evaluation Partner will undertake regular evaluation activity, which will assess whether programme outputs, outcomes and impact are being achieved. The =Partner will recommend how to maximise programme effectiveness, to ensure that the CFA is set to achieve transformational change in the countries it works in. The Partner will also assess the extent to which the CFA is securing value for money, thereby providing internal and external accountability for money spent, as well as providing inter- and cross-programme learning opportunities.

Renewal Options

If agreed by both parties, the Contract may be extended beyond the planned four-year contract duration by up to three years to complete tasks which may have been delayed in delivery, to complete an extension of the same evaluation activities linked to a similar extension of the CFA programme or to allow suitable time for handover to a new organisation following re-procurement of comparable services. Take up of any extension period is subject to the Authority’s approval and the continuing needs of the Contract. The Authority reserves the right to increase the budget of the contract to cover any extension period, and this decision would be based on the Authority’s available funds and priorities, as well as an assessment of the programme’s performance and the performance of the Contractor.
