Notice Title

Understanding Health Funding Markets - Designing investible nature-based solutions for health

Notice Description

*Please note extension of deadline for submission to Friday 15th November. A full Request for Tender document is attached to this notice* BACKGROUND Natural England and the National Trust recognise the positive impact that nature can have on our physical and mental health. This work is being commissioned as part of a new partnership programme with the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which aims to inspire, incentivise and support towns and cities to put nature at the heart of their places, for the benefit of people and planet. SCOPE OF THE WORK There is a wealth of evidence to demonstrate the positive link between nature and human health (both physical and mental). Many reports highlight the significant health benefits that nature provides, but there remain very few examples of health markets, funders or investors generating funding for nature-based solutions. Natural England and the National Trust require the services of a contractor to undertake research to grow our understanding of health markets and health investment/funding models and to better understand how and where nature-based solutions that deliver multiple benefits to people could attract investment/funding generated from these markets. We particularly want to understand who fund and/or invests in health outcomes, why they invest, and the level of risk appetite associated, and the financial mechanisms and models that facilitate this investment. We want to understand how nature-based solutions could enter these markets as well as where there are opportunities to develop new nature-based investment and funding models focusing on health outcomes. In summary this work will involve; Phase 1 - understanding health markets Phase 2 - roundtable exploration of opportunities Phase 3 - developing investible packages EXPERTISE OF CONTRACTOR The Working Group is looking to work with experts or a consortium of experts with a track record of the following: 1. Knowledge of health markets, economic models and investment vehicles 2. Working across sectors/stakeholders to deliver cross-cutting outputs 3. Facilitating and delivering workshops with a range of stakeholders 4. Desirable: experience of developing investment-ready proposals INFORMATION TO BE RETURNED As a minimum, submissions should cover the criteria laid out in the Methodology, Personnel, Quality Assurance, Management of sustainable and social value, and Mandatory Requirements. These are set out in full in the complete attached RFT. Submissions may also include any other information deemed relevant. Submissions should not exceed 10 pages in length. Please submit by email to anne.mackinnon@nationaltrust.org.uk Deadline for submission is Friday 15/11/24, 12pm.
