## Summary

The buying organisation, Natural England, has published a tender titled "Innovative Governance Models for Protected Site Strategies: the Humber Estuary Case Study - Phase I" for research and development services and related consultancy services within the CPV code 73000000, focused on stakeholder mapping and decision-making structures in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. The tender is in the open stage with a deadline of 15 January 2024 for submission, a contract start date of 16 January 2024, and a contract end date of 30 April 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the services category to engage in a procurement process that values innovation and stakeholder collaboration. Businesses with expertise in stakeholder engagement, research, and nature conservation are well-suited to compete for this contract, which requires a thorough review of existing relationships and future governance structures within the Humber Estuary region, focusing on long-term land-use management decisions.

## 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.
