The Framework was published by Defra on 31 January 2024 - see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/protected-landscapes-targets-and-outcomes-framework/protected-landscapes-targets-and-outcomes-framework. The aims of this contract are to: 1. Provide national guidance on the process by which each local partnership should calculate/estimate the contributions of their Protected Landscape towards each of the Framework's national targets. 2. Provide tailored initial advice to each of the individual Protected Landscape bodies to help their local partnership to develop bespoke contributions to the national targets, using the guidance/process developed under 1 above.
