## Summary

The public procurement process titled "RDE1019 - Designing research exploring associations between tranquil spaces and" has been completed by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra). The procurement concerns research and development consultancy services, under the industry category of Research and Development, focusing on investigating the links between tranquil outdoor spaces and health outcomes in various regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to Eunomia Research & Consulting Ltd. following a selective procurement method by calling off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase with the contract period running from 29th January 2026 to 30th October 2026, having initially closed for tender submissions on 28th January 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in research consultancy services to engage with public sector projects that delve into health and environmental science intersections. The project is particularly suitable for companies familiar with conducting comprehensive studies in these fields, and those equipped to operate within the specified geographical regions. Although the tender did not explicitly prioritise small or medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), companies with robust research expertise and a track record in delivering complex environmental or health-related studies could find significant growth avenues by aligning with Defra’s strategic objectives. This engagement could further establish their presence in influential public sector contracts, thereby aiding business development and expansion.
