Notice Title

Phase 1 scoping and evidence gathering for Nature South-West; a cross regional partnership for nature recovery

Notice Description

Sparked by the Nature North initiative (North of England cross-regional partnership delivering nature recovery ambitions), there is momentum building to scope what a Nature South West equivalent programme could look like, taking the learning from Nature North and applying a South West lens (unique blend of natural assets, culture and population). Guided by a small existing steering group of key partners and stakeholders, this Phase 1 piece of work would gather evidence and build a business case for Nature South West, capturing emerging, existing and potential Investable Propositions to harness green finance opportunities for nature recovery. This will be a largely desk-based exercise, carrying out a stakeholder analysis and collecting information on existing nature finance projects from across the South West (e.g. via a questionnaire), helping understand the requirements and barriers of buyers, sellers and investors when looking at investing in nature. The chosen contractor will also help the steering group understand the approach and model we should take to developing Nature South West, using Nature North for inspiration and exploring the various functions such a project and partnership could provide. Additional information: To apply for this opportunity you must submit your quotation meeting the requirements detailed in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) attached. Your response must be sent to pat.markey-bell@naturalengland.org.uk by 17:00PM on 26/05/2023. If you have any clarification questions linked to this opportunity or the procurement process please submit these via email to pat.markey-bell@naturalengland.org.uk. Please note that, unless commercially sensitive, both the question and the response will be circulated to all tenderers.
