## Summary

The tender titled "Re-Imagining Volunteering on our National Nature Reserves" is managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, based in London, England. This project, which falls under the classification of research and development services and social research services, aims to enhance volunteering opportunities on National Nature Reserves (NNRs). The open procurement method is being used, and the tender period concluded on 12th November 2021, with the contract starting on 1st December 2021 and running until 31st March 2022. The total contract value is £44,888, and it is aimed at encouraging diverse groups to engage with nature.

This initiative represents a significant opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to contribute to the development of inclusive volunteering models. Businesses offering services in community engagement, environmental education, and social research would be particularly well-suited to participate. By leveraging this opportunity, such organisations can expand their outreach, foster community connections, and play a vital role in promoting conservation and environmental stewardship.

## Notice

The range and quality of experiences on offer in the countryside will have a major bearing on who feels motivated to engage. It is important therefore, to understand both barriers to engaging and also the opportunities that might appeal to diverse groups. This project aims to grow the opportunities for wide ranging audiences to connect with nature in a variety of ways through a diversified volunteering offering on 2 pilot NNRs.
