## Summary

The procurement process for the "Land Sharing / Sparing Research" contract, initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, is currently in the Award stage. This contract, classified under the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services (CPV code 73200000), is set to commence on 27 August 2018 and run until 31 March 2019. The contract value is £62,000, awarded to the RSPB. Businesses interested in this opportunity should note that the tender was published on 13 September 2018 and that it followed a direct procurement method through a single tender action below the threshold.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses, especially those in the environmental consultancy and research sectors, as it focuses on enhancing landscape analysis and ecological benefits. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find it particularly beneficial. Those with expertise in ecological research, particularly in upland areas, or knowledge of natural capital and ecosystem services, would be well-suited to compete in this tendering process.

## Notice

A further tranche of work is proposed to develop the existing RSPB/CCI analysis to address one or more additional landscape types (which should include an upland example) and to explore benefits for selected additional environmental benefits. A proposal for research was invited which refines the existing model to: - Build species prioritisation into the analysis (probably based on distribution/population size rather than conservation priority); - Take account of the importance of the character area for key habitats i.e. in a regional/national context; - Develop an equivalent case study in an upland area ; o Explores use of data on other taxa in current case studies (eg butterflies on SP) or other ecosystem services/natural capital; o Describes the landscape/habitat composition of the intermediate 'compartment', representing a High Nature Value Farming paradigm, tailoring it to individual or different types of NCA.
