Total Quantity or Scope

This opportunity is for the appointment of a Monitoring, Learning and Evaluation (MEL) partner for the UK Market Accelerator for Green Construction (MAGC) programme. The MEL partner will be required to deliver an interim and final evaluation of the programme. Role of the evaluation partner MAGC is a substantial investment of International Climate Finance budget in green buildings by BEIS. As such monitoring and evaluation is key to giving assurance that the programme is having the intended benefits and providing good value for money for the UK taxpayer, whilst maximising the learning and transformation potential and informing future strategic decisions. The aim of the independent evaluation is to gather information on programme performance and lessons learned on MAGC in order to: - improve the ongoing delivery of results effectively (interim evaluation) - inform strategy and governance (interim evaluation) - learn for future similar programmes, e.g. green construction, mixed blended finance and technical advisory (interim and final evaluation). - value for money approach (interim) and overall value for money (final) Key themes likely to feature in the evaluation - progress against the theory of change. - how the programme has been managed - the design of MAGC and its effect on the programme objectives - value for money following the 4E approach considering: Economy, Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Equity The evaluation methodology is still to be determined but is likely to consist of: - desk-based review of programme documentation - interviews/surveys with delivery partners, stakeholders, beneficiaries - workshops with the programme team (BEIS and the delivery partner IFC) - site visits to a few of the projects that have received investment Expertise required from MEL partner includes the following. The Authority would welcome consortia bids to ensure the right mix of skills. - Proven track record in evaluating UK development spend, including climate finance - Strong expertise in the green buildings sector internationally (in particular certification schemes) - Private finance expertise, in particular use of financial instruments, concessional finance (blending of public/private finance) - Experience of working with both government organisations and financial institutions (banks, fund managers, etc) in at least some of the eligible countries. The Authority plans to stagger the evaluation into 3 delivery phases (timelines estimated): - 1a – interim evaluation focused on: strategy, governance and lessons learned on overall approach which can be adopted by the programme (approx. May 2023 to Sept 2023) - 1b – interim evaluation focused on: delivery of results so far against the logframe, overall value for money (approx. Nov 2023 to Mar 2024) - 2 – final evaluation: full evaluation of all of the above (approx. end 2025 / early 2026) Additional information: This PIN provides notice of the early market engagement event on this new procurement which will be held on Wednesday 12th October at 14:00 UK time and will be held via MS Teams.

The purpose of this programme is to boost the uptake of greener construction practices and technologies in developing countries, including new build and retrofits. The programme works across 4 components: - mobilising private investments for green construction, - providing technical assistance including building the knowledge and skills base of the industries and governments in the supported countries, - improvement and enhancement of IFC’s EDGE building standards, - research; building evidence by quantifying the financial and emissions case for this demonstration portfolio of buildings to drive wider uptake. Growing the market for green construction will help to tackle climate change by locking in low emissions through efficient design, whilst also realising the co-benefits of economic wellbeing for owners and occupants through lower utility bills, promoting energy and water security through resource efficiency, improving quality of life and enabling green growth.
