## Summary

The procurement process titled "Valuing the benefits of species recovery in England" is being conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on research and development services. It is classified under the CPV code 73000000 and pertains to the services industry. The tender began on 27th September 2021 and is complete, with its procurement concluded on 29th April 2022. The open procedure was used for this procurement, which was below the threshold, and the tender period ended on 3rd September 2021.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental consultancy sector, particularly those that specialise in research and policy evaluation regarding species conservation. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, given its focus on evidence-based policy interventions aimed at improving species abundance while avoiding extinction.

## Notice

To ensure that potential Environment Bill species abundance and extinction risk focussed targets and the policies that help us meet them are adequate and provide value for money, it is essential that we have robust evidence to inform our approach. This project will explore and improve the evidence base around the benefits of policy interventions targeting the improvement of mean species abundance and avoiding species extinction in England through a primary valuation study. This will help ensure species related interventions are evidence based, in line with Green Book guidance. It will also help Defra to ensure species interventions are better considered in economic appraisals more broadly.
