This project, aimed at supporting landowners and managers in future agri-environment schemes, emphasises the need for a comprehensive dataset detailing the location and extent of historic parklands in England. The procurement, classified under "Research and development services and related consultancy services" (CPV code: 73000000), follows an open procedure below the threshold. The tender was first published on 30 May 2024, with the tender period ending on 19 June 2024. Key dates include the contract period starting on 1 July 2024 and ending on 28 February 2025, involving services throughout the United Kingdom. Natural England, located in Leeds, will oversee this project, and contact can be made through Louise Brown via email. This tender provides a significant business growth opportunity for firms specialising in geographical information systems (GI) and historic parklands and designed landscapes. SMEs can particularly benefit as this procurement process is well-suited for their scale and capabilities. Businesses experienced in data enhancement projects will find this an ideal opportunity to contribute to an important environmental initiative while expanding their portfolio and gaining a reputable client. The allocation of nearly £50,000 for this service highlights a substantial investment, offering the selected business a notable project in the consulting and research field. ## Notice A reliable England-wide data set of the location and, importantly, extent of historic designed landscape (parklands) alongside key attributes is needed to support landowners and managers in future agri-environment schemes. Whilst the location of many of these sites is known, principally through designation and local records - there are many that are unknown or their extent not fully defined. This project seeks to plug this gap. This is a data enhancement project. It will require an understanding of historic parklands and designed landscapes as well as a GI specialism. The project aims to run for eight months, with an indicative start date of 01 July 2024 and an end date of 28 February 2025.
