## Summary

The procurement process titled "ELM Policy Discussion Analysis" was led by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on research services within the public sector. The procurement was completed as of 6th September 2021, following the award of the contract valued at £26,500 to Blue Marble Research Limited. The procurement method used was selective, operating through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period spanned from 5th August 2020 to 30th October 2020, with the tender period having ended on 31st July 2020. This initiative primarily targeted the environmental and agricultural sectors and facilitated submissions from stakeholders across the United Kingdom and other territories.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in research and environmental services. Companies that specialise in data analysis and policy assessment, especially those with experience in environmental management and stakeholder engagement, would be well-positioned to delve into similar future contracts. The insights gathered from the ELM scheme can be pivotal for businesses aiming to grow in the sustainable agriculture and land management sectors, providing a platform for innovative solutions and collaborative partnerships.

## Notice

Defra has published the Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme Policy Discussion Document. The Policy Discussion Document (PDD) sets out our initial thinking for ELM scheme design, providing an update on progress and overview of high level design options. We are using this document to step up engagement with all of our stakeholders, including farmers, foresters and other land managers, and have invited responses to key questions posed in the document. These responses need to be analysed carefully and fed back into the design of ELM to inform our National Pilot and subsequent roll-out of ELM.
