RFP: Analytical Products to Inform NDC Partnership Developing Member Countries’ NDC Implementation Planning

Tender description

The NDC Partnership intends to award an open, deliverable based contract to provide analytical support to inform decision-making related to the development of Partnership Plans and NDC implementation across a range of NDC Partnership developing country members. This support will be provided, as needed, on a country-by-country basis. Once a contract has been established, work orders will be issued for each assignment request, including description of deliverables and budget. This contract will run until end of 2022, with possibility of extension. Lot 1: The NDC Partnership helps countries turn NDCs into results-based, national implementation and investment plans by locating national climate and development goals within the broader sustainable development agenda. Countries refer to these plans in different ways, including as ‘Partnership Plans (PPs), and they can help guide development partners and implementing partners to support activities aligned with countries’ diverse objectives. In some instances, technical officials in the Partnership’s member developing countries lack the analytical tools they need to make complex choices, often under conditions of risk and/or uncertainty. The Partnership’s Support Unit is consequently seeking a firm to produce a variety of analytical products at the request of these country members to support their decision making around NDC implementation, ultimately informing the development or update of their Partnership Plans.
