Summary of the contracting process

Natural England commissioned environmental training services for the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier Advice Programme 2026/27, focused on delivering online events. The requirement is intended to provide advice and learning connected with higher-tier countryside stewardship, rather than physical land management or construction. The service sits within the environmental training services category (CPV 80540000). Natural England is the buying organisation, based in London. Delivery locations cover the United Kingdom, including the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the British Overseas Territories, as well as Europe and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to providers of structured online environmental, agricultural or countryside-management training delivered across a geographically wide audience.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Promar International on 26 August 2026. The contract value is £187,125, and the contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. Natural England used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The award is active. The procurement is classified as services and covers one requirement for the online events programme. It was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Promar International is the sole named awarded supplier.

This award indicates demand from Natural England for a provider able to design and deliver online learning events supporting the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier Advice Programme. A credible competitor for comparable work would need relevant environmental, agricultural or countryside-management expertise, alongside the ability to turn specialist advice into accessible digital events for a geographically dispersed audience. The requirement favours organisations with established delivery capacity, reliable online event infrastructure and experience managing public-sector or environmental education programmes. The buyer’s assessment that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates that future competitors should be prepared to demonstrate scale, resilience and the resources to support a national and international delivery footprint.
