        "description": "The Land Facility will run for approximately 7 years providing both multi-year intensive interventions (‘deep’ country support projects, formally ‘Track 1’) and strategic, short-term interventions (‘light’ projects, formally ‘Track 2’). Specific objectives of the LF will include:  \na.\tbuilding central government and other relevant agencies’ capacity to plan, implement and/or manage priority land reforms; \nb.\tmobilising and building wider political support to implement reforms and making the business case for long-term financing for land governance through PPPs, loans or country resources;\nc.\tadvancing or accelerating priority reforms by providing technical assistance and, in special cases, targeted funding for implementation, including legislative reform, developing land administration systems, establishing appropriate funding models and institutional structures, implementing land registration pilots.\nd.\tsupporting improved coordination and alignment between government and development partner interventions in the land sector.\nKey features of the LF that build on achievements and lessons from past and ongoing FCDO and other land programmes include: \n•\tResponsible and demand-led: the Land Facility will function as an integral part of the UK Centre of Expertise for Green and Inclusive Growth. The aim is to mobilise UK and international expertise and support in a more strategic and coherent way at the national level, with UK government posts in-country playing a central role in the design and/or delivery of projects based on available capacity. \n•\tThinking and working politically: ensuring interventions are grounded in a proper understanding of the political landscape; engage with critical national interest groups that may block or undermine reform and mobilise key champions to build consensus and find compromise solutions.\n•\tWorking strategically across urban, rural and forest land sectors, mobilising a wider set of stakeholders and taking advantage of multiple entry points to drive change.\n•\tFlexibility: a highly flexible and adaptive approach that will deploy long-term technical assistance and other tools to build capacity and support implementation.  \n•\tCoordination and alignment of land interventions: key focus on improving coordination and alignment of donor interventions in land to ensure these complement each other and reinforce the case for sustained reform.  \n•\tInclusion and equality: ensuring land reforms protect and strengthen women’s land rights, including inheritance rights, and safeguard the rights and interests of marginalised groups.\nThe supplier contract will be up to 7 years, subject to break clauses and resource availability.  The total initial budget and contract value for the services to be delivered under this contract is expected to be up to £50m (inclusive of all applicable taxes) (subject to change until ITT published).\ni.\tA further £30m may become available during the initial contract period, subject to further approvals;\nii.\tAn additional £30m and 3-year scale-up option will also be available, subject to a business case addendum should the programme have a strong impact and the potential to yield better results. \nThe contract will be divided into three phases:\n1.\tA 9-month Inception Phase – to confirm programme design, implementation strategy and delivery plan and develop the ‘deep’ and ‘light’ scoping process (with further activities within ToR)\n2.\tA 60-month Implementation Phase\n3.\tA 12-month Exit Phase\nThe indicative (please note it is indicative) timeline is as follows:\n-\tITT Pack Published 21 April 2023\n-\tDeadline for Bid Submission 2 June 2023\n-\tIssue of outcome letters 4 August 2023\n-\tContract Award 8 September 2023\n-\tMobilisation October 2023 Additional information: This PIN is not a call for competition or tender at this time, it is an information notice to invite supplier dialogue on the draft Terms of Reference and highlight the intent to publish this opportunity.

    "description": "The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) will be seeking suppliers to deliver a new land programme titled “Land Facility” and, separately, a supplier to deliver a Decision Support Unit (DSU) to support implementation of the Land Facility. Both calls will be relevant to suppliers with expertise and experience in (a) the land sector and (b) governance and political economy engagement. The DSU will also require strong monitoring and evaluation expertise and experience. \nThe Land Facility (LF) will work with governments and other actors in Africa, South East Asia and Latin America to develop the basic building blocks and/or enabling environment for a fit-for-purpose, sustainable central land governance system, as a basis for inclusive growth, stability, and sustainable land use. Its aim is to help build basic capacity and systems and to mobilise the necessary political support, so governments are able to implement systematic and sustained land reforms, in line with global guidelines and good practice, and prepare the ground for national scale-up where relevant. The primary scope of the Land Facility is therefore central land administration policy and systems and the political process needed to implement and sustain associated reforms. \nThis is a Prior Information Notice and not a call for competition or tender at this time. \n It is an information notice to highlight to the market the intent to publish the tender in the near future and give interested suppliers the opportunity to register interest on the FCDO Jaggaer Portal, access a draft Terms of Reference and engage in pre procurement dialogue through PQQ.",
