## Summary

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is inviting tenders for its "Projects for Nature" initiative, aimed at aligning corporate donations with government-screened nature recovery projects in the UK. The procurement, classified under the industry category of market research services, follows an open competition process and is currently in the tender stage. Notably, the deadline for submitting tenders is 6th June 2025, and enquiries need to be made by 23rd May 2025. The projects are intended to run from 7th July 2025 until 6th July 2029, with a possible 12-month extension option. The procurement adopts below-threshold open competition methods, and the main delivery location is within the UK.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are deemed suitable for this procurement lot. Companies with expertise in market research, environmental consultancy, and those having a vested interest in nature recovery initiatives can benefit from establishing long-term collaborations with the government and other businesses. Moreover, the evaluation process emphasises technical capabilities, social values, sustainability, and commercial terms, allowing businesses that excel in these areas to stand out and potentially secure future work through the development of nature markets.

## 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.
