## Summary

The procurement process for the "Environment Agency Appraisal Guidance User Research" project, initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, involves a selective procurement method with a contract value of £38,000. This project aims to enhance the understanding of appraisal guidance usage among staff in the Environment & Business sector. The contract period is set to run from 18 January 2021 to 31 March 2021, although the tender stage has since been marked as complete, with the award being made on 18 January 2021. The service falls under the "Research and development services and related consultancy services" category.

This opportunity is particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in research and consultancy services related to environmental policies and management. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in appraisal guidance frameworks would be well-suited to compete, as the aim of the project is to improve the accessibility and capability of appraisal methodologies within the Environment Agency. Engaging in such public procurement contracts not only aids in growth but also enhances reputational standing within the public sector.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to understand how existing appraisal guidance is used by staff in Environment & Business (E&B) in order to improve appraisal accessibility and staff capability, and to set the foundation for identifying areas of commonality and divergence with Flood & Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) appraisal guidance.
