## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Natural England for the "Natural capital valuation of inshore fish and fisheries data" project has reached the award stage, with the contract running from September 2025 to March 2026. This project aims to analyse data using natural capital-based approaches to assess ecosystem, societal, and cultural services provided by inshore fish communities, following the 2024 sampling programme. The procurement was conducted under an open method, specifically a below-threshold open competition, involving parties located in the United Kingdom, with Adam Waugh being the point of contact at Natural England. The contract was awarded to A Franco, a supplier based in Hull, with the contract becoming active on 18th September 2025 and expected to conclude on 31st March 2026, providing survey analysis services across various UK regions.

With the focus on natural capital valuation and data-driven insights, businesses specialising in survey analysis services or having expertise in ecosystem assessments stand to gain substantial recognition and experience. The awarded supplier's role in testing and defining frameworks for evaluating inshore marine ecosystems also opens avenues for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to deliver innovative and scientifically rigorous solutions to compete effectively in future tenders of similar scope.
