Details

The Santiago Network Secretariat is issuing this call for proposals to select a Lead Drafting Entity to prepare the first edition of the regular report on loss and damage.

As per COP/CMA mandate and decisions at SNAB 7, this report is expected to compile available information on loss and damage. The report and related materials will showcase risk projections and scenarios, innovative solutions, case studies, best practices and lessons learned to guide efforts to avert, minimize and address climate-induced loss and damage. They will have a global coverage, providing balanced regional representation all while focusing specifically on developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, reflecting economic and non-economic loss and damage across different ecosystems, socio-economic contexts, and sudden- and slow-onset events and processes.

The work to produce the report is expected to start in April 2027 and should continue throughout June 2028.

All proposals in response to this call must be submitted via the UNOPS grant management platform Grant+.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
