Summary of the contracting process

The Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier Advice Programme for 2026/27, titled "ETAFFAES&E02", has been concluded with an award stage. Natural England, serving as the buying organisation, has completed the procurement process for environmental training services. This selective procurement was conducted via a call-off from a framework agreement and it takes place in regions including the East and South East of England, with coordination from their London office. The contract, valued at £229,000, spans from July 15, 2026, to March 31, 2027, providing a substantial time frame for project implementation.

This tender provides significant opportunities for SMEs capable of delivering high-level environmental training services, particularly those specialising in natural and countryside stewardship. Engaging in this procurement can enhance the visibility and credibility of businesses within the environmental services sector. Given the requirement for SMEs, companies with a strong regional presence in relevant sectors are well-positioned to benefit from participating in future tenders of a similar nature. The award to Promar International underscores the potential for growth and industry influence offered through such government contracts managed by Natural England.
