Water Roadmap Delivery Partner - GSI Spain

Description

WRAP are currently delivering a large Collective Action Project in southern Spain, spanning Doñana and Murcia. The project is managed by Good Stuff International (GSI), which has established a strong local network and generated significant momentum. Following the split of the Southern Spain programme into two distinct projects (Doñana and Murcia) in April 2026, an additional delivery period is required to stabilise governance, embed delivery structures, and support the transition into two independently functioning Collective Action Projects. This period will also enable WRAP to strengthen the evidence base, demonstrate early impact, and secure longer-term funding commitments across both regions before undertaking a competitive tender for future delivery. A change in delivery partner at this stage would introduce disproportionate delivery, financial and reputational risk, including loss of stakeholder trust, disruption to ongoing activities, and duplication of mobilisation effort in a complex and sensitive operating environment. There is no reasonable alternative supplier that could deliver equivalent value within the required timeframe without incurring these risks. WRAP therefore proposes a time-bound continuation of delivery with GSI to maintain momentum and ensure continuity through this critical transition phase, with a view to undertaking a competitive tender during 2027 once the programme structure and funding position are more clearly defined.
