## Summary

The procurement process titled "Connecting the Clees" is initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on research services in the UK. This project aims to develop opportunity maps for farmers to aid in understanding their natural assets and contribute to a Nature Recovery Network. The procurement method employed is a direct tender through a single tender action below the financial threshold, with a total contract value of £45,750. The contract period is set from May 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021, with the procurement stage currently at the award phase, following the tender period that closed on March 20, 2020.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the research and social research services sectors, particularly those offering innovative solutions aimed at environmental enhancement and agriculture. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their expertise in sustainability, ecological assessments, and community engagement to potentially win contracts in this space. Collaborations with agricultural stakeholders might also prove beneficial in meeting the project's objectives.
