Tender description

The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) aims to establish an innovative Investment Platform and Marketplace to align with its Climate Ecological Strategy and Action Plan (CESAP 2023). The platform will help achieve nature recovery and halt environmental decline by 2030, supporting Bath, Bristol, Northeast Somerset, and South Gloucestershire (West of England Region). The Mayoral Combined Authority will procure an external software developer to create an investment platform that supports funding and investment within the West of England region. This platform will host a range of natural capital assets, offering investors a dedicated tool to track nature-based assets and monitor the impact of their investments. The platform aims to streamline the investment process, providing transparency and real-time insights into asset performance and environmental benefits. Through this initiative, we hope to attract more sustainable funding into the region, aligning investments with regional conservation and climate goals.
