The UK Government's Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme is inviting proposals from qualified suppliers or consortia to deliver technical assistance to the Government of Cameroon. Cameroon, situated within the Congo Basin and home to significant forest carbon resources, is seeking to strengthen its readiness to participate in high-integrity international carbon markets, including Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), and voluntary carbon markets. While the country has considerable potential to generate climate finance through carbon markets and support implementation of its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), key legal, institutional, and operational gaps continue to constrain effective participation. This assignment will provide targeted technical assistance and capacity building to support the Government of Cameroon in establishing the governance frameworks, institutional arrangements, and regulatory systems required to operationalise carbon market participation. Working closely with relevant government institutions, including the Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED), the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife (MINFOF), the Ministry of Finance (MINFI), and other key stakeholders, the project will strengthen carbon market governance, Article 6 implementation readiness, project approval systems, and institutional coordination mechanisms. Key outputs are expected to include a comprehensive carbon market readiness assessment, a carbon market governance framework defining the roles and responsibilities of key institutions, operational procedures for Article 6 participation and Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), a national carbon project approval system, and a structured capacity-building programme for government counterparts. The project will also support the integration of gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) considerations, safeguarding measures, and benefit-sharing approaches within carbon market governance arrangements. The project aims to strengthen Cameroon's ability to participate credibly and effectively in international carbon markets, mobilise climate finance, enhance institutional capacity, create an enabling environment for private sector investment, and support the delivery of national climate and sustainable development objectives. Interested suppliers are invited to review the documentation provided in this notice and submit their applications to: targetedfund@ukpact.co.uk.

The UK Government's Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme is inviting proposals from qualified suppliers or consortia to deliver technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan. Pakistan has committed to reducing projected greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2035 through its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 3.0. Delivering this target will depend heavily on action at the provincial level, where responsibility for many climate-relevant sectors rests. While the Government of Pakistan has established new coordination arrangements through the National Climate Finance Strategy (NCFS), challenges remain around federal-provincial coordination, implementation tracking, climate finance visibility, and reporting progress against national climate commitments. The assignment will provide targeted technical assistance to support the Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination (MoCC&EC), the Pakistan Climate Change Authority (PCCA), and provincial governments to establish and operationalise a practical federal-provincial coordination and tracking mechanism for NDC 3.0 implementation. The project will strengthen institutional coordination, improve monitoring and reporting of climate actions and investments, build government capacity, and support the mobilisation of climate finance. The intervention will also integrate Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) considerations to promote more inclusive climate governance and decision-making. Key outputs are expected to include a federal-provincial NDC coordination framework, a standardised NDC tracking and reporting framework, an interoperability pilot connecting existing government climate and public-sector data systems, operational support for a Tactical Climate Coordination Forum, and a sustainability and scale-up roadmap. The project aims to strengthen Pakistan's ability to implement and report on its climate commitments, improve evidence-based decision-making, enhance transparency and accountability, and create a stronger foundation for attracting climate finance and accelerating NDC delivery across provinces and sectors. Interested suppliers are invited to review the documentation provided in this notice, and submit their applications to: targetedfund@ukpact.co.uk.

The Council is seeking to appoint suitably qualified consultants to provide SEA services throughout the preparation of the Local Plan. The commission will include the preparation of the SEA Scoping Report, Environmental Reports and associated SEA documentation at key stages of plan preparation, together with ongoing advice and support to ensure the SEA process is effectively integrated with the Council's Local Plan programme. SEA is an iterative process that runs alongside Local Plan preparation, helping to identify, describe and evaluate the likely significant effects of the emerging Local Plan and reasonable alternatives. Government guidance on the new plan making system confirms the expectation that new local plans will need to undertake Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) if certain criteria set out under Regulation 5 of The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 are met. Furthermore, the Government has stated that they consider that all local plans will need to carry out SEA. Therefore, the Council requires SEA to inform the preparation of the new Local Plan.
