## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has awarded a contract for a project titled "RDE601 A review of the importance of global wetlands, and their ecosystem," classified under Research and development consultancy services. The tender, which was procured via a selective call-off from a framework agreement, is focused on assessing the role of wetland ecosystem services in poverty reduction in lower and middle-income countries.

Key stakeholders include the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) as the supplier, with delivery locations spanning multiple regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in ecological research and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in wetland ecosystems and poverty alleviation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are also suitable contenders, given the focus on compiling and interpreting data from diverse geographies and applying it to policy recommendations. Companies engaging in this project can leverage new partnerships, expand their market reach, and contribute to critical environmental and developmental research that can have a global impact.

## Notice

This work will aim to assess the current understanding of the role of wetland ecosystem services in poverty reduction in lower and middle-income countries.
