## Summary

The South Downs National Park Authority has awarded a contract for the Downs to the Sea: Audience Development Support and Evaluation Framework. The project focuses on restoring and protecting ponds and wetlands in the South Downs and Arun Valley to enhance nature recovery and climate resilience. The contract, valued at GBP 13,600, was awarded to Resources For Change Ltd. The consultancy services contract has a duration from April 5, 2023, to October 16, 2023.

This opportunity for business growth is particularly suitable for service providers in the evaluation consultancy sector. The contract value is GBP 13,600, with a minimum value of GBP 12,000. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the procurement method is through an open procedure with a focus on audience development and evaluation framework creation. The contract period allows for a year-long development phase to prepare for a delivery phase activity plan targeted for late 2023 or early 2024.

## Notice

The Downs to the Sea: Recovery and Resilience in Wetland Habitats project will help to restore and protect crucial ponds and wetlands, across the South Downs and in the Arun Valley, that are instrumental in nature recovery and resilience to climate change at scale, providing multiple ecosystem services. It is a partnership project comprising of South Downs National Park Trust (SDNPT) (lead applicant), South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA), RSPB, Arun and Rother Rivers Trust (ARRT), Brighton and Hove City Council (including The Living Coast), and Writing Our Legacy. (WOL). The year-long development phase is crucial for the partnership to do preparatory work for a delivery phase activity plan. The SDNPT and SDNPA wish to appoint a consultant to work with the partnership during the development phase to: 1) inform and support audience development; and 2) create an evaluation framework for the project. Both will be important elements of a delivery phase application to NLHF in late 2023 or early 2024.
