## Summary

The procurement process for the "Farmland Butterflies and Moths Initiative MOA" is being conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This project focuses on ensuring the new Countryside Stewardship Scheme accommodates specific butterfly and moth species across agreement lands in England. The procurement, classified under Research Services, is at the award stage, with the contract period starting from 29th August 2017 until 31st March 2020. The total contract value is £50,000, and the tender notice was published on 21st September 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly in the environmental services and training sectors, as well as those specialising in ecological research or wildlife conservation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, especially those with expertise in adapting conservation practices to support diverse species. Companies experienced in environmental management and research services are well-positioned to contribute to the goals of this initiative.

## Notice

The FBMI is a project with BC to ensure that the new Countryside Stewardship Scheme will fully cater for the S41 butterflies and moths, wherever they occur on Agreement land (including existing agreements and those which come up for renewal during the year), for which standard options are not suitable. This will be through the Project Officer identifying the relevant upcoming schemes and providing training to NE advisors on how to use the bespoke guidance written by BC/NE for some specialised species to adapt the existing CS options to make them suitable for such species.
