## Summary

The procurement process for the "Trust for Oxfordshire's Environment" project, initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, involved a direct tender action to trial an innovative mechanism for delivering Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). This project falls under the research and development services industry category and located within the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 2nd February 2022, with an end date of 30th September 2022 for the contract period and the tender period closing on 3rd August 2021. The total contract value amounted to £61,767.20.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in environmental consultancy and research. Businesses with expertise in biodiversity, environmental management, and innovative agricultural practices would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders and contribute to initiatives promoting public goods. The focus on replicable learning outcomes also suggests a pathway for businesses to refine their offerings for engagements with organisations like Defra in ongoing and forthcoming projects.

## Notice
