The public procurement process for the "Provision of Evaluation Services - Species Survival Fund" has been completed. The National Heritage Memorial Fund, operating as the Heritage Fund, conducted this on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The procurement aimed to evaluate the Species Survival Fund (SSF), a two-year £25 million initiative designed to enhance species abundance across various habitats in England. The award was given to Wavehill Ltd, with the contract valued at £198,600. Notably, the contract for delivering these evaluation services began on 12 June 2024, and the procurement method followed an open procedure under the CPV classification 79419000 for evaluation consultancy services. The SSF aims to support wildlife habitats, contributing to England's 2030 Species Abundance target.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and evaluation services, particularly those addressing biodiversity and habitat restoration. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) were encouraged to participate, and the selection was based on criteria focused on quality (80%) and price (20%). Companies with expertise in environmental impact assessments, conservation project evaluations, and related consultancy services were particularly well-suited for this tender. Engaging in such high-profile public procurement projects can enhance a company's portfolio, providing significant visibility and credibility within the industry.
