Additionally, the Supplier will provide knowledge sharing - and develop guidance documentation in cases of common issues - for DESNZ staff on common legal issues.

The Supplier will also provide updates on upcoming changes in law affecting ICF programmes.
The current contract, awarded to TLT LLP is due to expire within the this year.
The new contract will ensure continuity of legal support services for DESNZ's ICF portfolio, which aims to drive urgent action to tackle climate change by supporting low carbon growth in developing countries.
