Description

The Climate Finance Accelerator (CFA) is a £12m technical assistance programme providing practical ways to help governments finance and deliver their climate commitments under the Paris Agreement. The CFA aims to improve the flow of climate finance in participating countries to deliver emissions reductions.

The role of the CFA Advisor is to support the continued successful delivery of the CFA process and to support its embedding in-country. The CFA Advisor will help oversee programme delivery by:
- Providing strategic guidance to in-country processes and wider programme implementation
- Leveraging links to financiers, and helping secure participation at events
- Participating and facilitating CFA workshops, as required
- Participating in the CFA Advisory Board
- Supporting the CFA embedding process, by giving strategic advice on possible governance structures, helping source funding both in country and globally, and thinking holistically about the future of CFA and how the value it brings can be maximised.

In the case of continued CFA expansion to new countries, the CFA Advisor will help guide the CFA country selection process based on agreed criteria such as market maturity, availability of bankable projects, and suitability of the enabling environment.

Climate Innovation Pull Facility - Facility Manager - Invitation to Submit Initial Tenders

The UK Department of Energy Security and Net Zero is procuring a supplier to manage a new facility - the Climate Innovation Pull Facility. Through pull finance, this facility will support innovation, scale up and market building for climate change mitigation solutions for developing country contexts, focusing on innovative clean energy technologies and business models in a small number of specific applications/sectors, where the evidence shows support is most needed. In public innovation financing, "pull mechanisms" create incentives for innovators and other actors by creating viable market demand. They seek to reduce viability gaps and induce innovation by signalling demand for solutions to specific problems. Mechanisms often cited include Advanced Market Commitments, Results or Outcomes Based Financing, Prizes/Challenges, innovation bulk procurements, Contracts for Difference, among others. By contrast, much innovation support has to date utilised "push mechanisms" directly subsidising up-front R&D costs. In terms of climate mitigation solutions, the CIPF will support the development of innovation projects aligned to Ayrton Fund themes: industrial decarbonisation, sustainable cooling, smart energy systems and storage and clean transport Further details of Ayrton Fund thematic challenges are set out on gov.uk. The procurement of this requirement will be in two parts: (i) A contract for a Facility Manager to manage the programme and identify, incubate, commission and oversee 6-10 climate pull projects of £10m - £50m each. This contract will also cover programme monitoring and learning. ii) A separate contract for an Independent Evaluator of the programme, who will conduct a mid-term and end-of-term evaluation of the programme's achievement of its development objectives, theory of change and value for money. This procurement is subject to a separate procurement procedure. The procurement for the Facility Manager is the focus of this notice and will be run as a competitive procedure with negotiation. The initial contract value is £183m over 5.5 years with options to extend by up to £317m and up to 3 additional years. Of the £183m initial contract value, at least £150m of this will be allocated for climate pull projects, the majority of which will be grant funding.
