Notice Information

Notice Title

Developing the concept of a Natural Capital Trust in the West of England and beyond

Notice Description

In-depth development and testing of the concept of a Natural Capital Trust in an operational setting as proposed in draft versions of the 25 Year Environment Plan. Building on previous Defra-funded piloting work to develop a payments for ecosystem services scheme in the west of England, the project would explore the potential for not-for-profit Natural Capital Trusts to pool resources from across an area and a range of funding sources. This would enable integrated and strategic natural capital investment decisions within landscapes and catchments, and assess the potential fit with the 14 area plans for England. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra.
