Summary of the contracting process

Natural England commissioned a one-to-one farm advice programme to help farming businesses in North West Catchment Sensitive Farming priority catchments protect water and air quality. The advice is intended to support more resource-efficient farm businesses, improved farm infrastructure and a lasting environmental benefit. The work is classified as environmental training services (CPV 80540000) and is a services contract. Delivery covers areas in the North East and North West of England. The programme combines environmental guidance with practical advice relevant to farm operations and infrastructure, with the aim of securing benefits for both farm businesses and the environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to RSK ADAS Limited. Natural England selected the supplier through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 2 October 2026, for £103,985. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 12 May 2027. The procurement was presented as one advice programme, focused on farm businesses in priority catchments. No separate lot awards are identified. The stated purpose and scope provide the basis for understanding the requirement: one-to-one support that helps farms protect water and air quality while improving resource efficiency and infrastructure. No further evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

The award demonstrates demand from Natural England for specialist, farm-facing advice that links environmental protection with practical improvements to agricultural businesses. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver tailored one-to-one support to farms across the relevant catchments, with strong knowledge of water and air quality measures and the operational realities of farming. Experience advising on resource efficiency and farm infrastructure would be directly relevant, alongside the ability to translate environmental objectives into workable changes on individual holdings. The call-off route also shows that Natural England sourced this programme through a framework, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need relevant framework access as well as the capacity to support a geographically distributed programme.
