Notice Description

This RFQ is to procure engagement and evaluation work Natural England need to support the development, delivery and assessment of the pilots described above. This contract will provide the project managers with support in two key areas: * Stakeholder engagement and consultation * Pilot programme evaluation Evaluation will therefore cover the whole life of the Local Pilot project from initial community consultation (stakeholder participation), co-design of the evaluative framework (what we will test), through to pilot completion and conclusion (assess success).
