Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "RDE962 - Nature Returns communications, engagement and dissemination materials," initiated by Natural England, has reached the award stage. Defra is listed as the buying organisation, and the contract pertains to the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services (CPV code 73200000). The procurement method was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was finalised on 24th November 2025, with a start date of 25th November 2025, concluding on 31st March 2026. This project aims to produce and disseminate materials to summarise Nature Returns reports and other related publications globally, including the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in research and development consultancy, specifically those with expertise in producing communication and dissemination materials. Companies with a strong background in impact-driven reports and publications could leverage this project to expand their portfolio globally. While SME and VCSE suitability was not prioritised in this procurement process, larger consultancy firms, especially those experienced in frameworks with the public sector, like Eunomia Research & Consulting Ltd.—the awarded supplier—are well-suited to engage and compete in similar tenders. By participating, businesses can enhance their visibility and establish strong working relationships with public organisations such as Natural England and Defra.
