## Notice

Natural England are seeking a contractor that will undertake stakeholder mapping, review existing stakeholder interrelationships and decision-making structures, and explore development and nature conservation objectives within the Humber Estuary. This will be achieved by a systematic review of published (paper or electronic) resources, and where needed, via interviews (online, telephone or face-to-face) with a representative sample of informants of a wide variety of stakeholders to record internal structures and hierarchies of each organisation. This first stage, Phase one, is expected to inform future planned work which will utilise deliberative and innovative processes to allow stakeholders to interact, share evidence, and explore suitable governance structures that would engender cross-estuary land-use management decisions long-term.
