## Summary

The procurement process led by Natural England is now in the award stage for the project titled "Geodiversity and Nature Recovery in the Black Country UNESCO Global Geopark", which falls under the industry category of survey services. The contracting authority is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method used is an open procedure with a value of £10,000. The deadline for submitting proposals was on 4th September 2023. The project involves producing a portfolio of four case studies highlighting the integration of geodiversity into nature recovery.

This tender opportunity from Natural England for survey services in the Black Country UNESCO Global Geopark presents a chance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations interested in nature recovery to contribute. Businesses well-versed in geodiversity, geoconservation, and biodiversity relationships would be suitable to participate. The project's aim is to showcase the value of integrating geodiversity into nature recovery efforts, offering growth opportunities for businesses in the survey services sector.

## Notice

Nature Recovery is at the centre of the Government's Environmental Improvement Plan but the contribution of geodiversity to nature recovery is not yet fully valued or recognised and the opportunities that geodiversity offers have not been adequately explored. Alongside this, the opportunities to conserve and recover geodiversity as part of wider nature recovery activities have not been been fully realised. This project builds on the success of the Purple Horizons project, one of the first nature recovery pilot projects, that was based in the Black Country and, through partnership working, clearly demonstrated the value to biodiversity and to geodiversity of taking an integrated approach to nature recovery. We are seeking an individual/team who are experienced and knowledgeable about geodiversity and geoconservation and also have experience in exploring the relationship between biodiversity and geodiversity to produce a portfolio of four case studies, based around the Black Country. These should illustrate the benefits and value of integrating geodiversity into nature recovery and each case study should be focused on a different geo-site/group of sites and major on a different nature recovery theme. The expectation is that a detailed report should be produced for each case study that also includes maps and photos. Additional information: To apply for this opportunity you must submit your quotation meeting the requirements detailed in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) attached. Your response must be sent to Barbara.Silva@naturalengland.org.uk by 5pm on 4th September 2023. If you have any clarification questions linked to this opportunity or the procurement process please submit these via email to Barbara.Silva@naturalengland.org.uk. Please note that, unless commercially sensitive, both the question and the response will be circulated to all tenderers.
