## Summary

Natural England, a central government public authority in London, has completed the procurement for "The Tees Bay Dunes Management / Improvement Plan," focusing on environmental management in the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast region. The primary aim is to develop a 30-year sustainable management plan to enhance the dunes' condition, which is currently unfavourable. The project, designed under an open competition procurement method, aimed to engage providers capable of working collaboratively with stakeholders to support nature recovery efforts. The contract was awarded to Adonis Blue Environmental Consultants on 14th January 2026 and will run from 27th January to 31st March 2026. The procurement process has advanced to the award stage, with the required services contract already active.

This project presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in environmental consultancy, landscape management, and nature conservation. By participating in similar tenders, businesses can expand their portfolio in the environmental management sector. The collaborative approach required for the dunes management plan is well-suited for enterprises that focus on sustainability and ecological restoration and are adept at engaging with multiple stakeholders, including landowners and conservation bodies. This tender represents a strategic growth opportunity for firms looking to establish themselves in the public sector supply chain, particularly those interested in projects that support the UK's clean energy and nature conservation goals.

## Notice

The Tees Protected Site Strategy (PSS) is transforming how Teesside balances its industrial heritage with nature recovery, bringing together environmental organisations, major industries and local communities to protect the internationally important Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast designated sites. This collaborative initiative directly supports the regional ambitions to become the UK's clean energy powerhouse whilst ensuring the Tees estuary remains a thriving habitat for seals, migratory birds and other wildlife that depends on its mudflats and salt marshes. Sand dunes play a huge role in coastal protection, as well as host a diverse and high-quality invertebrate assemblage associated with sand dune habitats. The Tees Bay dunes condition status is unfavourable - declining, and the dunes network faces a multitude of pressures. Working at landscape-scale to develop a long-term (30-year) sustainable strategy for the dune system will provide evidence-based information to inform decision-making and direct actions for nature recovery. This project is seeking a provider to work collaboratively with landowners and land managers to develop and produce a 30-year Tees Bay Dunes Management Plan.
