This tender, classified under the economic impact assessment category, involved a limited procurement method with the contract awarded without prior publication of a contract notice. The tender period ended on 13th April 2018, and the contract commenced on 19th April 2018, concluding on 15th June 2018. The awarded contract amounts to £20,000. This project presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in economic assessment and environmental consultancy services. Firms with expertise in housing development scenarios and biodiversity assessments would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Companies that can navigate complex project financial viability challenges and offer innovative solutions within urban and non-urban development contexts may find substantial growth opportunities in this sector. ## Notice The over-arching aim of the project is to examine and test whether or not there are particular housing development scenarios where achieving a biodiversity net gain outcome would compromise project financial viability. Working with a combination of published and business data (from current or past projects) the project will: - establish baseline costings - explore a series of counter-factual scenarios to test the impact of biodiversity net gain on the financial viability of these projects. The project will identify and analyse the actual or likely impact of biodiversity net gain upon housing development financial viability in the most commonly found development scenarios in England. This is likely to include; - urban & non-urban developments - high density and low density developments - development in high economic growth and low economic growth areas - development in affluent and within deprived regions Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities.
