## Summary

The procurement process titled "ELM Test & Trial - Testing Collaboration Mechanism in the 23 Burns Area" is managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This initiative falls under the research and development services and related consultancy services category, with a total contract value of £42,312. The contract period commenced on 16th October 2020 and is set to conclude on 28th February 2021. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the tendering phase has now been completed, with the final award being officially published on 24th September 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in environmental consultancy and land management services. Companies capable of providing innovative solutions for collaborative land management, environmental assessments, and stakeholder engagement would be particularly well-suited to compete. By participating in such initiatives, businesses can contribute to optimising local natural capital assets, thereby enhancing their market presence and fostering sustainable practices within the industry.

## Notice

This test will examine and report back upon the methods required for land managers to engage and also to deliver cross-boundary environmental opportunities to optimise local Natural Capital assets. The Test will consider three aspects of land management utilising some of the common themes identified from the first test and the subsequent report. 1) How might collaboration between land managers for environmental delivery be developed and delivered? 2) How could ELM remove the cost barriers to collaboration and ensure that it is value for money to do so? 3) A close examination of the importance of advice and facilitation to deliver the collaborative approach. The resulting protocol will cover the identification of the assets, how best to manage them, how to work across farm-boundaries and how to incentivise the necessary opportunity-management. The work would be run around farmer response to five environmental proposals across all 63 farms of the 23 Burns area
