## Summary

The North Devon Pioneer Environmental Land Management (ELM) Trial Farm Scheme, initiated by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline set for 20 July 2020. This public procurement opportunity falls under the agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry, and related products category, targeting various landscape areas of North Devon: Hartland, Wistlandpound, The Torridge Culm, and the Taw Valley. Interested parties should note that the contract is expected to commence on 10 August 2020 and will run until 31 March 2021, with the procurement method classified as an open procedure below the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on agricultural and environmental services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies specialised in agricultural consultancy, environmental management, or land services would be well-positioned to compete. By participating in this scheme, these businesses can enhance their profile and contribute to innovative land management practices while potentially gaining valuable experience and future contracts within the public sector.

## Notice

The trial will work in four landscape areas of North Devon: Hartland, Wistlandpound, The Torridge Culm and River Valley and the Taw Valley (see maps in Annex 1).
