The contract was finalised on 24th November 2025, with a start date of 25th November 2025, concluding on 31st March 2026.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in research and development consultancy, specifically those with expertise in producing communication and dissemination materials. Companies with a strong background in impact-driven reports and publications could leverage this project to expand their portfolio globally. While SME and VCSE suitability was not prioritised in this procurement process, larger consultancy firms, especially those experienced in frameworks with the public sector, like Eunomia Research & Consulting Ltd.—the awarded supplier—are well-suited to engage and compete in similar tenders. By participating, businesses can enhance their visibility and establish strong working relationships with public organisations such as Natural England and Defra.
