Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Natural England involves the "ETAFF AEMidlands02" project titled Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier Advice Programme 2026/27: Pre-application Lite Approvals for CGS22. This procurement falls under the industry category of Environmental Training Services (CPS code 80540000) and encompasses the East Midlands, West Midlands, and London regions in the UK. The process is at the Award stage with an initial contract period starting on the 15th of July 2026 and concluding on the 31st of March 2027. A total budget of £229,000 is allocated for this project. Conducted through a selective procurement method, it follows the "Call-off from a framework agreement" approach, having concluded its tender period on the 12th of June 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental training services, particularly those experienced in handling Countryside Stewardship schemes. Companies like Promar International, already awarded the contract, demonstrate the type of experience required. While it does not specifically target SMEs or VCSEs, larger established entities with a robust background in environmental consultancy and service delivery are ideally suited to benefit from and contribute to similar future opportunities. Receiving such contracts can amplify business profiles and expand their influence within regional environmental stewardship initiatives.
