## Summary

The procurement process titled "How the West is one - Coastal access" is managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This initiative falls under the administration services category and targets the North West region of the United Kingdom. Currently, the process is in the Award stage, with the award for the contract amounting to £24,000 announced on 12 March 2018. The contract period commenced on the same date and will conclude on 31 March 2019. The tender period ended on 12 February 2018, and the procurement method used is classified as 'Other'.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on environmental and community development projects, particularly those that can engage with economically deprived coastal communities along the Cumbrian coastline. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in administering projects that incorporate a Natural Capital approach and foster partnership collaborations to secure long-term financial investments from major industries.

## Notice

How the West is one is a project that has been in development without funding for approx. 18 months. We have developed a partnership group for the Cumbrian west coast and have developed four exemplar partnership projects that use a Natural Capital approach and will deliver benefits for people living in economically deprived coastal communities along the coast from the Duddon Estuary to the Solway Firth. It is part of the Catchment Pioneer project that is testing new ways of working to achieve the ambitions of Defra's 25 YEP. The concept of How the West is one is to secure long term financial investments from large industries.
