## Notice

We are looking to purchase custom made iron on badges. We are looking to contract a supplier that can provide multiple badge designs over a 4 year term. The concept is that people buy a Wakehurst "Nature heroes" cape, then earn the different badges when they come to site and can add these to their cape (like guides / scouts). The capes will be made of cotton. We would like to see a sample iron badge as part of this process, and for each order, we would want to see a prototype before purchasing in bulk To apply follow these steps * Go to https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html * Click on 'view Current Opportunities' * Scroll the list to locate 'RBGKEW1131 - Nature Heroes Badges Framework' * Click on the title * Follow the instructions to register and obtain the tender documents Additional information: To apply follow these steps * Go to https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html * Click on 'view Current Opportunities' * Scroll the list to locate 'RBGKEW1131 - Nature Heroes Badges Framework' * Click on the title * Follow the instructions to register and obtain the tender documents
