## Summary

The Environment Agency (EA) is seeking to establish a framework for Stakeholder Engagement and Facilitation Services (SEAFS), covering a contract period from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2023, valued at £2 million. This procurement process operates under a selective restricted procedure, currently in the planning stage with a tender period that ended on 22 June 2021. The framework aims to appoint five contractors who will assist EA staff in effectively engaging with stakeholders across various locations in the United Kingdom, including regions such as the North East and London.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in stakeholder engagement and facilitation. Companies that possess expertise in designing and delivering participative processes, have the capacity to handle complex stakeholder interactions, and can provide training and mentorship to EA staff will be well-positioned to compete. By participating in this tender, businesses can enhance their market presence and contribute to environmentally-focused societal initiatives.
