Summary of the contracting process

Natural England procured on-farm advice services for the Southwest Catchment Sensitive Farming priority catchments. The work supports farming businesses to protect water and air quality while identifying practical improvements that make farms more resource efficient, improve infrastructure and create a lasting environmental benefit. It is an environmental issues consultancy service, delivered for the farming industry across the relevant Southwest catchments in the United Kingdom. The requirement is classified under CPV 90713000 and falls within the services category. The buyer is Natural England, the public body responsible for using the advice programme to support environmental outcomes alongside benefits for participating farm businesses.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. Natural England awarded the contract to RSK ADAS Limited on 7 July 2026 for £72,100 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 7 July 2026 to 2 October 2026. The award is active. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published procurement information identifies the service scope and environmental consultancy classification, with the award made to a single supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Natural England for specialist agricultural advice that combines farm-business improvement with measurable protection of water and air quality in priority catchments. Competitors for a future requirement of this type would need credible environmental consultancy capability, strong understanding of farming operations and the ability to turn catchment-level environmental objectives into practical advice for individual farms. Relevant delivery strength would include assessing resource efficiency, identifying improvements to farm infrastructure and helping businesses implement changes that produce lasting environmental benefits. The buyer’s use of a framework call-off and classification of the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs indicate that scale, established capacity and experience delivering comparable programmes are likely to matter.
