UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Economic Valuation of marine wildlife watching/nature-based tourism in England" was conducted by Natural England, based in London. The process fell under the 'services' category, specifically focusing on research consultancy services. The tender went through a direct procurement method below the threshold and without competition, as per the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. Although the tendering stage is complete, the related contract was actively signed on 5th September 2025 and is set to run from 8th September 2025 until 16th March 2026. This project addresses the region of the UK and aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the economic impact of nature-based tourism.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses with expertise in environmental economics or consultancy services related to tourism and wildlife. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), similar to the supplier awarded—Economics for the Environment Consultancy Limited—are well-positioned to compete in this sector, particularly those that offer specialised knowledge of the UK market and the ability to deliver detailed economic assessments. Participation in such projects can enhance credibility and provide exposure to governmental departments like Natural England, facilitating future collaborations.
