## Summary

The procurement process titled "Barriers to Children Visiting Green Spaces" is facilitated by Defra Network eTendering Portal, focused on understanding barriers that prevent children from accessing natural environments. This project falls under the services category, specifically related to data collection and research, with a contract value of £37,805. The tender period concluded on 1st February 2017, while the contract period began on 20th February 2017 and will run until 5th May 2017. The geographical scope includes various locations in the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and data services, particularly those with expertise in environmental studies and welfare for children and young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Engaging in this project can facilitate business growth by establishing valuable partnerships within the public sector and contributing to impactful research that addresses social issues relating to children's access to green spaces.

## Notice

The key aim of this project is to produce a report on the barriers to children of visiting the natural environment, particularly focussed on the 1 in 9 children who we know do not visit green spaces. The report should help us to understand the barriers that exist to these children visiting green spaces and the behaviours that influence decision making. This should encompass urban green spaces as well as rural landscapes, including parks, school playing fields, community gardens/allotments, paths, rivers, lakes, canals, woodland/forests, farmland and beaches. The research should focus on children themselves, as well as others whose behaviours could influence children's access to green space. The project should focus on children aged 0-4 and 5-11, considering these two groups separately. The research should review existing evidence on barriers and behaviours and develop this to explore the most significant barriers and associated behaviours in more depth. Further to this in recommendations and discussion it should also include thoughts on how these can be overcome, for whom and by whom. The research should assess barriers and behaviours for children, reflecting differences across different sectors of society (geographical locations, religions, ethnic groups, socio-economic groups).
