The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with the tender expected to be published by 28th February 2022, and proposals due by 31st March 2022. The project is classified under research and development services and will take place in the United Kingdom, with a contract period running from 11th April 2022 to 30th September 2022. This opportunity is ideal for businesses engaged in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in wildlife conservation and policy evaluation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to submit proposals, as Defra aims to gauge market interest in this important review. By participating in this tender, businesses can contribute to shaping future wildlife conservation policies and securing public sector contracts that may foster long-term partnerships and growth. ## Notice The Hen Harrier Action Plan was published in 2016, and it sets out six complimentary actions to increase hen harrier populations in England. A copy of the Plan is available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/491818/hen-harrier-action-plan-england-2016.pdf Defra is seeking an expert/s to undertake an independent objective 'mid-term' review of the Plan. A review will consider the current effectiveness of the suite of complimentary actions within the Plan, and the extent to which these support the recovery of hen harrier populations. We envisage that the review will assess progress and efficacy across the Plan, and that any findings and recommendations may then inform future policy implementation around hen harrier conservation. Defra would welcome proposals from independent tenderers and consortia for this project.
