Notice Description

There is a wide and diverse range of farm advice currently being delivered in Britain under a number of different programmes and delivery mechanisms.

This is to include cost: benefit calculations; consideration of interactions with agricultural regulatory regimes in England, Wales and Scotland; and development of advocacy assets for WWF use. Overall, the proposed consultancy will deliver across six interlinked objectives set out in this Call for Proposals. We request submissions by Wednesday, 17th March for a consultancy to run from end of March to end of August 2021. Consortium proposals are welcome. The budget is PS55,000 to PS0,000 including VAT and any associated costs e.g. travel. Please submit your proposal electronically by midday, Wednesday 17th March 2021 to Simon Aguss.
