UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is seeking a co-ordinator for the Southern New Forest Deer Management Group, supporting the long-term delivery of the New Forest Deer Protected Site Strategy. The work is a nature conservation and stakeholder-management service, classified under nature reserve services. The co-ordinator will lead and facilitate the group’s development, helping stakeholders establish a shared vision, clear purpose, formal membership arrangements and effective governance. The role also involves building the relationships and evidence base needed for the group to operate independently. Delivery is centred on the New Forest in England. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and is intended for suppliers able to work collaboratively with conservation stakeholders, land managers and other interested parties.

The process has reached tender: Natural England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition using the open procedure. Suppliers must submit a quotation meeting the Request for Quotation requirements by 23:59 on 18 September 2026. Clarification questions are to be sent by email, with questions and responses circulated to tenderers unless commercially sensitive. The single lot has an estimated value of £18,750 excluding VAT, or £22,500 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 19 October 2026 to 22 March 2027. Evaluation criteria are set out in the Request for Quotation. The buyer requires a quotation rather than a formal tender submission, with the response sent by email to Natural England’s procurement contact.

This opportunity suits an experienced facilitator, partnership manager or conservation-sector consultant able to bring organisations together around a shared environmental objective. Strong candidates will be able to develop governance arrangements, define membership and roles, establish a common purpose, and support stakeholders to work towards independent operation. The requirement also calls for the ability to develop and use an evidence base, build effective working relationships and translate stakeholder input into practical structures for deer management and protected-site delivery. Relevant experience could include nature conservation, deer management, protected landscapes, environmental partnerships, land management or multi-organisation governance. Small and medium-sized businesses are specifically identified as suitable, making this relevant to specialist consultancies and independent advisers with the necessary facilitation and conservation expertise.
