UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is procuring advice and information services for the UK Network of Conservation and Environment Agencies through the Land Use Policy Group. The work will track and interpret relevant global and European Union policy developments affecting agriculture, related environmental policies and nature conservation. It is intended to help the group share information and learning about domestic policy implementation across the devolved nations, learn from policy implementation in the EU and understand the implications of wider international developments for domestic policy. The requirement is a service involving technical analysis, policy and research consultancy, and social research. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, for a central government public authority and its conservation and environmental agency network.

The procurement reached tender and Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Clarification questions were due by 17:00 on 4 September 2026, and quotations were to be emailed by 23:59 on 11 September 2026. The single contract was scheduled to run from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an extension possible under the same specification until 31 March 2030. Its estimated value is £22,400 excluding VAT, or £28,000 including VAT. Electronic submission was not allowed: suppliers had to email a quotation meeting the Request for Quotation requirements. Evaluation was to follow the criteria set out in the RFQ.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized consultancies, research organisations and policy specialists able to monitor developments in global and European Union agriculture, environment and nature conservation policy, then turn them into clear, reliable advice for public-sector conservation bodies. Relevant suppliers will need strong analytical and research capability, an understanding of how policy is implemented across the UK’s devolved nations, and the ability to assess implications for domestic policy. The work is particularly suited to teams combining environmental policy knowledge with structured evidence gathering, concise reporting and interpretation of international developments. Businesses should be comfortable delivering advice to a network of conservation and environmental agencies against a defined specification.
