Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England commissioned environmental training and advisory services for the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier Advice Programme 2026/27, specifically pre-application Lite approvals for CGS22. The work supports advice provided to applicants under the programme rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. Delivery covers the East Midlands and West Midlands, with the procurement associated with Natural England’s London office. The requirement is categorised as environmental training services. It is relevant to organisations with experience delivering structured environmental, countryside or land-management advice and training across these regions, particularly where they can support Countryside Stewardship applicants through pre-application processes and approval requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Natural England used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 3:00 pm, and the award was made on 10 July 2026. Promar International was selected for the contract at an awarded value of £229,000. The contract runs from 15 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £229,000. The procurement is a single service requirement covering the East Midlands and West Midlands. It was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Natural England, this award demonstrates a requirement for regionally delivered environmental advice and training linked to Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier applications. A credible competitor would need practical knowledge of countryside stewardship requirements, land-management or environmental improvement measures, and the ability to guide applicants through pre-application advice and Lite approval processes. The work calls for a delivery model capable of operating across both the East Midlands and West Midlands, with sufficient specialist staff, programme knowledge and coordination to support multiple applicants consistently. Experience working with public environmental programmes and producing clear, reliable advice would strengthen a future offer.
