C40 Cities: Climate Action Planning Programme — Technical Assistance Framework
C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, Inc. (C40) is a non-profit organisation which supports international cities to collaborate effectively, share knowledge and drive sustainable action on climate change. C40 expects to be receiving funding support from the UK Government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Danish Government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will be used to fund the delivery of climate action plans in 15 cities located across South America and South East Asia. Through 2 procurement processes, C40 intends to procure high-quality consultancy services. This procurement seeks to secure a panel of specialist consultants to deliver technical expertise to collaborate with "City Consultants". City Consultants are currently being appointed pursuant to an alternative procurement exercise, and their role will be to deliver support locally utilising their experience of working with relevant key stakeholders within those cities.

Buenos Aires, Quito, Lima, Guadalajara and Medellin
To support the development of a climate action plan that is aligned with the requirements of C40’s Climate Action Planning Framework, C40 wishes to procure a panel of four consultants to work with C40 and City Consultants in the above cities to deliver the Climate Action Planning Programme which will encompass the following work packages:
Work Package 1 Strategic Climate Action Planning Appraisal
Work Package 2 GHG Emissions and Climate Risk Assessment
Work Package 3 Action and Plan Development
Work Package 4 Climate Action Plan Review
Work Package 5 Coordination and Knowledge Sharing
Further details on the scope of each work package can be found in the Specification which is available via the Box Link at https://c40.box.com/v/c40-ojeu-procurement. Particularly for Work Packages 2, 3, and 5, C40 wishes to procure technical consultants with deep technical expertise on the topic of climate change planning within the context of mitigation, adaptation and inclusivity with some geographic and context-specific experience. Consultancies will be required to undertake specific technical modules of support for cities ranging from climate risk assessment and GHG scenario modelling to stakeholder engagement and inclusivity analysis. In addition, consultancies will have the opportunity to also bid for the production and development of a set of strategic tools and resources on inclusive climate action and climate action impact assessment, as listed in Lot 4 of this contract notice. Consultancies will need to ensure effective coordination and knowledge sharing with the City Consultants (to be procured via a separate procurement process) amongst C40, the C40 city adviser, and the city. Overall, the consultancies will work closely with the City Consultants who will work on Work Packages 1-5 in terms of being the coordinating partner for a city. The City Consultants will demonstrate broad expertise across the climate action planning agenda combined with a strong understanding of the local political, institutional, socio-economic and cultural context.
The initial contract period is for 25 months but C40 reserves the right to have an option to extend this contract for up to an additional 23 months.
