This will include providing technical advice, supporting FCDO’s political engagement, and tracking and monitoring progress of support provided to as many as 16 partner countries across West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and South America, as well as engagement with international policy processes. The PMSST supplier will manage FCDO funds through grants as instructed by FCDO.
The selected Supplier will be an organisation with a strong track record of outsourced management of a multidimensional development programme, including grant fund management. Its personnel assigned to the services will have extensive knowledge of and expertise in the subject matter covered by FGMC2 programme, including but not limited to:
•	Administrative and financial management of grants;
•	management and performance oversight;
•	Monitoring, evaluation and learning experience;

Facilitation ensures the quality of national deliberations by promoting stakeholder inclusion, transparency, and participation in forest governance processes. These processes may relate to forestry, mining, carbon, and a country's Nationally Determined Contributions to name a few. A Facilitator's role is to establish themselves as an impartial, trusted adviser to each of the key sector stakeholder groups in a forest governance reform process, and to use this role to build constructive working relationships both within and between stakeholder groups in support of a governance reform agenda. FGMC2 will make provision for Facilitators in up to 10 countries in the 1st 5-year period (with an initial estimated budget in the range of £12-16 Million).
Technical Assistance Portfolio Management (TAPM) service: will commercially source and oversee projects that provide technical assistance to support forest governance reform processes. These projects will help FGMC2 partner countries develop forest policies and institutional arrangements that deliver accountable forest stewardship, or improve forest footprints associated with international trade. The TAPM service provider will procure and manage a portfolio of TA projects on behalf of FCDO responding to country-specific demand that is identified by the FGMC core team (PMSST & FCDO) and national stakeholders. The TAPM will not directly deliver the TA projects but will respond to demand from across up to 16 countries with a budget in the range of £70 -80 million anticipated for the first 5-year period.

We will also advertise separately for:
Facilitation Service: to support national multi-stakeholder reform processes. Facilitation ensures the quality of national deliberations by promoting stakeholder inclusion, transparency, and participation in forest governance processes. These processes may relate to forestry, mining, carbon, and a country's Nationally Determined Contributions to name a few. A Facilitator's role is to establish themselves as an impartial, trusted adviser to each of the key sector stakeholder groups in a forest governance reform process, and to use this role to build constructive working relationships both within and between stakeholder groups in support of a governance reform agenda. FGMC2 will make provision for Facilitators in up to 10 countries in the 1st 5-year period (with an initial estimated budget in the range of £12-16 Million).
Technical Assistance Portfolio Management (TAPM) service: will commercially source and oversee projects that provide technical assistance to support forest governance reform processes. These projects will help FGMC2 partner countries develop forest policies and institutional arrangements that deliver accountable forest stewardship, or improve forest footprints associated with international trade. The TAPM service provider will procure and manage a portfolio of TA projects on behalf of FCDO responding to country-specific demand that is identified by the FGMC core team (PMSST & FCDO) and national stakeholders. The TAPM will not directly deliver the TA projects .  The supplier will respond to demand from across up to 16 countries with a budget in the range of £70 -80 million anticipated for the first 5-year period.
This programme is currently working through Business Case approvals and this is a Prior Information Notice and not a call for competition at this time.

The geography department at the University of Exeter may have an upcoming requirement for an Isotope-Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS), capable of analysing a wide range of environmental samples for stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. The instrument will need to be able to work with samples containing very different concentrations and ratios of these key elements, and to be able to analyse both solid and aqueous samples. A particular focus is expected on the analysis of plant and soil samples, including extractions of dissolved organic and inorganic carbon from soils. The instrument should also be able to support paleo-environmental analysis of different materials and compounds.
Ahead of publishing a tender for this requirement, the University would like to invite potential suppliers to meet with us to help improve our understanding of some of the various features, to help inform our specification and tender documents.
In particular, we would like to better understand how your IRMS allows us to analyse isotopes on a wider range of environmental samples (including solids, liquids and gases) with different concentrations of key elements (including C, N, O, H).
If you are interested in speaking to us about this requirement, please get in touch via the messaging functionality within the tendering portal no later than Friday 10th May 2024, 12pm.
We will then be in touch to arrange a 30-minute session via Microsoft Teams the week commencing 13th May.
