UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is buying advice and information services for the UK Network of Conservation and Environment Agencies through the Land Use Policy Group. The work covers relevant global and European Union policy developments affecting agriculture, related environmental policy and nature conservation. It is intended to help the group share learning about domestic policy implementation across the UK’s devolved nations, learn from implementation in the EU and elsewhere, and understand how wider global and European developments could affect domestic policy. The services are consultancy, research and technical analysis. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, for a public-sector network working on land use, agriculture, environmental policy and conservation matters.

The procurement has reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, and the published estimated value is £22,400 excluding VAT, or £28,000 including VAT. Clarification questions were due by 17:00 on 4 September 2026. Quotations meeting the Request for Quotation requirements were to be sent by email by 17:00 on 11 September 2026; the tender period ends at 23:59 that day. The contract is scheduled to run from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an extension potentially available until 31 March 2030 under the same specification. The award basis is set out in the Request for Quotation. Electronic submission is not allowed.

This opportunity suits consultancies, research organisations and policy specialists able to analyse and explain developments in agriculture, environmental policy and nature conservation. Relevant capability includes monitoring global and European Union policy, assessing how policy implementation affects domestic arrangements, and producing clear advice and information for a network of conservation and environment agencies. Suppliers should be able to compare policy implementation across the UK’s devolved nations and draw useful learning from the EU and wider international context. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It may suit a focused policy or research team with experience in land use, agricultural policy, environmental regulation, conservation or related public-sector advisory work.
