## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has concluded an award for the "Surrey Hills National Landscape Boundary Review Project". This tender, under the industry category of general management consultancy services (CPV 79411000), is aimed at reviewing and potentially varying the boundary of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The procurement process is in the Award stage, with the contract spanning from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025. The project is valued at £113,720 GBP and includes a wide array of delivery locations such as the United Kingdom, Europe, and British Overseas Territories among others.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in consultancy services with expertise in landscape assessment and environmental planning. Ideal candidates would be well-established consultancies with experience in environmental management and a capacity for extensive local and regional assessments. The project’s scope and the inclusive range of delivery locations make it an attractive opportunity for consultancies aiming to establish or expand their portfolios in landscape and environmental consultancy. Resources for Change Ltd, an SME, secured the contract, highlighting the potential for smaller enterprises to compete effectively in such tenders.

## Notice

For many years there has been a local desire to extend the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (SH AONB) to include locally valued landscape such as Areas of Great Landscape Value (AGLV) and wider countryside. These proposals have been supported by the AONB Board and local authorities and a formal request was put to Natural England by the AONB Board proposing a variation to the AONB boundary based on an early study by Hankinson Duckett Associates (HDA) in 2013. In December 2013 Natural England's Board confirmed it would take forward a project to determine if the AONB boundary should be varied and to define a recommended boundary.
