This tender falls under the research consultancy services category, with an emphasis on environmental impact assessments and consultancy. The procurement process is open, and proposals must be submitted by midday on Wednesday, 17th March 2021. The consultancy is scheduled to run from the end of March to the end of August 2021, primarily addressing needs in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The budget for this project is between £55,000 and £70,000, inclusive of VAT and other costs. This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms with expertise in environmental management and agricultural advisory services, particularly those focused on sustainability and regulatory compliance. Businesses with a proven track record in providing evaluative consultancy or research services, as well as those capable of developing methodologies for impact measurement, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, making this an excellent opportunity for diverse organisations to engage in public sector projects. ## Notice There is a wide and diverse range of farm advice currently being delivered in Britain under a number of different programmes and delivery mechanisms. WWF has been involved with farm advice delivery for environmental outcomes since 2021; in part through direct corporate support (Coca-Cola and Tesco), and latterly through upscaling mechanisms of the CaBA Water Stewardship Service and the Courtauld 2025 Water Ambition. We wish to undertake a wide-ranging evaluative consultancy that seeks to identify and quantify the multiple benefits of environmentally-focused farm advice from specific existing programmes; the issues and opportunities associated with encouraging collaborative action across supply chains; and set out recommendations for measuring and scaling-up impact and overcoming barriers to further/wider implementation. This is to include cost: benefit calculations; consideration of interactions with agricultural regulatory regimes in England, Wales and Scotland; and development of advocacy assets for WWF use. Overall, the proposed consultancy will deliver across six interlinked objectives set out in this Call for Proposals. We request submissions by Wednesday, 17th March for a consultancy to run from end of March to end of August 2021. Consortium proposals are welcome. The budget is PS55,000 to PS0,000 including VAT and any associated costs e.g. travel. Please submit your proposal electronically by midday, Wednesday 17th March 2021 to Simon Aguss.
