## Summary

Natural England has awarded a contract for the Rapid Evidence Review on the density of use of greenspaces and routes in and close to urban areas. The procurement process was classified under research and development services. The contract has a value of £23,000 and will run from December 12, 2022, to March 31, 2023. The procurement method used was a limited competitive quotation process below threshold, with a tender period ending on December 4, 2022.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research and development services and related consultancy services to engage with Natural England. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly suited to compete in this procurement process. The contract is focused on understanding people's use of greenspaces and routes within urban areas, offering a niche area for specialised businesses to contribute to important research and development activities.

## Notice

Natural England is seeking to improve our understanding of people's use of greenspaces and routes within and close to urban areas, and this study seeks to understand how many people can use greenspaces and still get benefits. This project is a Rapid Evidence Review relating to people's use of greenspaces in and close to urban areas. (The review does not need to consider the density of people in green places further from urban areas but evidence relating to such places may be useful and included). This is a short project that is expected to be completed by the end of March 2023. Depending on the findings Natural England may consider further assessment of relevant evidence but that is not part of this contract. Details provided in the reference for quotation attached. Additional information: To apply your response should be returned to the following email address by: Email to pippa.langford@naturalengland.org.uk by 23:59 on December 4th, 2022. Ensure you state the reference number and 'Final Submission' in the subject field to make it clear that it is your response.
