## Summary

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has initiated a tender titled "Projects for Nature" as part of their effort to align corporate donations with government-screened nature recovery projects. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically market research services, and is located in the United Kingdom. The tender process is currently at the award stage, having been active since May 2025, following a pilot phase. Interested parties should note that the tender period closes on 6 June 2025, with all enquiries needed by 23 May 2025. The procurement method is open competition, with contracts possibly starting from 7 July 2025 for a term of four years, extendable by up to 12 months.

This tender presents ample opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to contribute towards significant environmental goals while benefiting from increased visibility through projects that align with corporate nature reporting frameworks. The project is particularly suited for businesses specializing in market research services, as it involves collaboration with over 50 businesses through established nature markets. With a focus on technical, social values, sustainability, and commercial criteria for assessment, this tender not only supports ecological initiatives but also propels business growth and diversification in the environmental sector.

## Notice

Projects for Nature (P4N) is an initiative that aims to connect corporate donations to nature recovery projects screened by government, ensuring alignment with these national environmental priorities. The initiative has been in pilot from December 2024 - May 2025, raising money from multiple corporate donors and engaging over 50 businesses. More than this, P4N has enabled these corporates to demonstrate action within their nature reporting (e.g. TNFD and SBTN) and established strong relationships between businesses and nature projects that have catalysed further investment, e.g. through nature markets.
