## Summary

The University of Kent has concluded a public procurement process titled the "E3 Sharing Space for Nature Project," aimed at counterbalancing emissions through investment in Wilder Carbon’s conservation efforts. This project falls under the services industry category, specifically botanical and zoological garden services and nature reserve services, and operates within the UK region UKJ4. The procurement process used was a direct award method, justified by exclusive rights held by Wilder Carbon LTD, the supplier. The contract commences on 12th June 2025 and runs until 31st July 2030, involving a gross amount of £279,216. Key dates include the contract award on 2nd June 2025 and the end of the standstill period on 11th June 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on environmental services, particularly in natural climate solutions and biodiversity enhancements. Companies with expertise in habitat restoration and conservation, especially those capable of delivering long-term carbon retention projects, would find the opportunity viable. Wilder Carbon LTD, an SME based in Maidstone, serves as the supplier, indicating potential for similar businesses to engage with public bodies in initiatives aligned with sustainability and ecological integrity.

## Notice

DICE staff and PhD students will go beyond UoK Travel Policy compliance for the duration of the E3 funding, counterbalancing our emissions impact through investment in Wilder Carbon (https://www.wildercarbon.com), the only not-for-profit and high integrity natural climate solution available in the UK. Wilder Carbon relates directly to the scope and remit of Making Space for Nature by protecting and restoring carbon-rich native habitats across the country for climate, biodiversity and society. The Wilder Carbon Standard delivers high quality conservation projects that result in long-term carbon lock-up and real biodiversity gains, instead of profit being generated from nature.
