Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England procured one-to-one Catchment Sensitive Farming advice services for farmers in the East and West Midlands priority catchments. The work supports the farming industry to protect water and air quality while identifying practical benefits for farm businesses, including improved resource efficiency, better farm infrastructure and a lasting environmental legacy. The service is a professional advisory programme rather than the supply of office or computing equipment, despite the associated classification code. Delivery is identified in the East Midlands, within the wider East and West Midlands Catchment Sensitive Farming area. The requirement falls within services and is aimed at helping individual farms adopt measures that improve environmental performance alongside business efficiency.

The procurement is complete and Natural England awarded the contract to RSK ADAS LIMITED on 30 June 2026. The award value is £60,000, and the contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 18 June 2026 at 12:00 noon. This was a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement, so competition took place among framework suppliers rather than through an unrestricted tender. The requirement was evaluated as a services contract for one-to-one Catchment Sensitive Farming advice. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. RSK ADAS LIMITED is the selected supplier and the award is active.

This award demonstrates demand from Natural England for specialist agricultural advice that connects farm business improvements with environmental outcomes. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work would need credible experience delivering one-to-one advice to farmers, understanding Catchment Sensitive Farming priorities, and translating water and air quality objectives into practical measures on individual holdings. Useful capability includes assessing resource efficiency, advising on farm infrastructure and supporting changes that produce a durable environmental benefit. A strong provider would also need to operate effectively across priority catchments in the East and West Midlands and engage directly with farming businesses. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a focused agricultural consultancy with relevant technical expertise and field delivery capacity could be well placed when this type of service is next procured.
