Lot number	Title	Description
Lot 1	Mainstreaming of climate change mitigation and adaptation in European Regional Development Fund and Cohesion Fund Programmes 2021-2027	The distinct contracts concern the assessment of climate action in the relevant programmes and plans prepared by the Member States under the Structural and Agricultural funds listed, to be carried out under tight deadlines, and by multi-language expert teams. It is important, in the contractor’s scrutiny of the climate-relevant parts in a given programme, to carry out an ex-ante evaluation to prepare the assessment (when possible), to identify and propose – where relevant – additional climate action, which can increase the climate-related expenditure for climate change mitigation, adaptation and sustainable energy.The assessment of proposals submitted by the Member States shall be duly substantiated, based on an analysis of the country-specific situation, the (partnerships and) draft programmes, and the identification of climate needs, challenges and potential to step up climate ambition. Consistency between the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) and the draft (partnerships and) programmes will be an important cross-cutting element in such assessments, for example as regards infrastructure investments and other sectoral investments in certain funds.
