Description

UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) is part of the UK’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) budget and responds to the critical global need for technical assistance to help developing countries implement their commitments under the Paris Agreement, recommendations from the UK’s Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI)’s 2014 review of the International Climate Fund (ICF), and the Government’s vision for the UK’s global clean growth leadership to inspire others and support increased prosperity for the UK. The ultimate goal of the programme is to reduce poverty by maximising emissions reductions in developing countries in order to promote clean growth and avoid dangerous climate change. UK PACT strengthens relations with partner governments, builds capacity in key partner institutions, and raises the visibility of the UK’s work in this field. To deliver on these goals, the UK PACT programme is split across three components, for each of which a Delivery Partner was procured under a separate Lot. The UK PACT programme (and associated contracts) transferred from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) on 1st April 2022. This Contract is Lot 3: skill-shares and secondments with PA Consulting Services Limited and is one of three Lots. Lot 1: Bilateral country programming and external communications was awarded to Palladium International Limited and Lot 2: Global Challenge Fund was awarded to ICF Consulting Services Limited.

Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** As a result of the Covid-19 Global Pandemic and delays to COP26 due to Covid-19, the Authority's requirements demand continued access to these services beyond the current end date of the contract. The Authority is unable to change contractor at this stage for economic and technical reasons, and to do so would cause significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for the Authority. Recognising the need for a long-term solution, the Authority is already undertaking the re-procurement activities including the internal steps ahead of ITT publication anticipated March/April 2023 of the next phase of the UK PACT programme to provide a sustainable basis for meeting these requirements. In the short term however, the Authority considers it necessary to exercise a contract amendment to Lot 3: skill-shares and secondments, delivered by PA Consulting Services Limited. This procedure will; i) extend the term of Lot 3: skill-shares and secondments from 31/03/2023 to 31/12/2023
