The successful bidder, most likely consortium, will provide ongoing evidence, including that of a business-critical nature, through three interrelated work packages: - Monitoring - undertake a National Field Survey (NFS) - Modelling - provide ongoing integrated land-use modelling using the Integrated Modelling Platform (IMP) - Evidence - deliver ongoing analytical support The Welsh Government expects the programme to: - Undertake a National Field Survey (NFS) enabling the monitoring and evaluation of policies in the areas of agriculture, land-use, climate and nature, including, but not exclusively, Glastir; transition schemes; the Sustainable Farming Schemes; the Nature Network Programme. - Undertake appropriate analytics of NFS data and other sources to satisfy reporting requirements in the areas of agriculture, land-use, climate and nature, including, but not exclusively, National Trends; Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 indicators; the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 State of Natural Resources Reporting (SoNaRR); Rural Development Plan replacement reporting; other emerging international and domestic reporting requirements. - Be adaptive and responsive in delivering evidence needs to support policy across the areas of agriculture, land-use, climate and nature, including, but not exclusively, ongoing modelling capability using the Integrated Modelling Platform and other modelling tools; undertake tactical analysis and evidence reviews and provide direct expert scientific support. To deliver this it is required that the lead supplier will bring together a wide range of skills, expertise, and organisations; will be adaptive and responsive; will identify and embrace new technology; will maximise the opportunities for using and sharing the data collected; will seek to deliver maximum community benefits and aspire to deliver an exemplar evidence programme.. The budget for the 2 year initial contract term is between GBP 2,600,000.00 - 3,000,000.00. The potential total contract budget for the max. 8 years of the optional extension periods is between GBP 10,400,000.00 - 12,000,000.00. The budget stated in II.1.7 is the max. budget for up to 10 years.",
