This procurement process has reached the award stage as of 2nd November 2021, following a selective procurement method that involved a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £59,937.50, is set to commence on 8th November 2021 and run until 31st March 2022, with services required in various locations including British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, and the UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those with experience in monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the contract aims to enhance group dynamics and technological integration in the countryside management sector. Additionally, companies that can demonstrate innovative solutions to address gaps in current agricultural agreements may find this an appealing opportunity for growth. ## Notice The contract will deliver the fourth phase of monitoring and evaluation for the Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Fund (CSFF). It seeks to apply the previously developed monitoring and evaluation framework for CSFF to include the groups who started in 2020, review and update the spatial analysis of what the current CS agreements within Facilitation Fund Groups are achieving, and the gaps in and around each group to identify opportunities for expansion, or encouraging group creation in that area. It also aims to capture some of the narrative from experience with regard to the benefits (or not) of being part of a group together with an assessment of the use of technological aids and how these have helped or hindered progress of groups' ambitions and the well-being of their members.
