## Summary

The procurement process titled "336 - Kent Wildlife Trust," initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, involves the provision of research and development services related to landscape recovery projects. The contract was awarded for a total value of £108,322.10 and is classified under the CPV category of research and development services and related consultancy services.

Key details include that the tender was planned with a deadline for submissions on 25th October 2021, and the geographical scope covers areas within the United Kingdom and beyond.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses engaged in environmental consultancy, agricultural services, and finance to expand their operations, particularly those capable of managing collaborative landscape projects. SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) are encouraged to explore similar tenders as the engaged stakeholders—farmers, utility companies, and local government entities—provide a diverse array of partnership potentials. Companies that can contribute innovative financing solutions and understand the nuances of farmer decision-making on income streams will be well-positioned to compete and thrive in this burgeoning sector.

## Notice

This contract has been awarded to work with 12 farmers and land managers as well as utility companies and local government funders to test the role of blended finance in the delivery of landscape recovery projects. They will consider the balance of real-time funding options for multiple farms across two geographically distinct areas, exploring the farmer decision process in selecting income streams, the payment rates required and highlight the gaps private finance is unable to fill. In doing so they will test how collaborative landscape recovery projects can be planned, the support and incentives required and any barriers to be overcome.
