This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those focused on community engagement in renewable energy initiatives. Companies with expertise in producing guidance documents, conducting qualitative research, and understanding the dynamics between communities and developers will be well-positioned to compete. As the updated guidance aims to further enhance community interactions with onshore wind projects, there is potential for partnerships with local authorities and developers in the renewable energy sector.

## Notice

***THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION**** This contract has been awarded against Crown Commercial Services Research Marketplace DPS. An update to the existing community benefits and engagement guidance for onshore wind developments in England is required in order to improve how communities and developers interact on onshore wind, given the change in context since the last guidance was published. The supporting qualitative research is needed both to support the production of the updated guidance, ensuring that this is based on a robust evidence base, and to increase our understanding of the community-developer dynamic and inform future onshore wind policymaking. Aim 1 - Produce an updated guidance document for onshore wind community engagement and benefits The updated guidance will be a single document published on gov.uk and no more than 30 pages long. It will be accessible to local communities and use case studies and real-life examples to bring to life the principles of engagement and the range of benefits that are available to communities that host onshore wind energy developments. Aim 2 - Deliver qualitative evidence to support the development of the updated guidance, and inform future onshore wind policy development
