II.1.4) Short description
UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) is a flexible technical assistance (TA) programme that is designed to support ODA-eligible countries to increase their future climate ambitions, reduce their emissions, and accelerate just transitions to clean growth.

UK PACT is part of the UK Government’s International Climate Finance (ICF). Through this procurement FCDO sought a Delivery Partner (DP) to deliver the UK PACT programme. The DP will deliver and monitor the programme in close coordination with FCDO in the UK and in British Embassies (BEs) and High Commissions (BHCs). This contract is for an core Contract period to 31 March 2027 at a value up to £220 million with the option to increase by up to £60 million, to a total of £280 million, during that period.
