## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra), located in London, UK, has completed a procurement process titled "ES RDE 018 - A comparison of costs and benefits of different peatland restoration." This procurement, underpinned by the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54, focuses on research and development services, specifically related to peatland restoration scenarios. The tender, identified by the id ocds-h6vhtk-067d77, was initiated as a direct award below the threshold and was successfully awarded to EUNOMIA RESEARCH & CONSULTING LIMITED on 20th March 2026, with the contract set to run from 13th April 2026 to 12th March 2027. The contract is valued at £104,896.25, excluding VAT, indicating its classification as a service provision aimed at environmental research.

The procurement provides valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those with expertise in environmental consultancy relating to peatlands. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like EUNOMIA, which successfully secured the contract, demonstrate the opportunity for growth in servicing government agencies such as Defra with niche consultancy needs. Businesses equipped to deliver sophisticated analyses and scenario developments in ecological contexts, especially those with an understanding of regulatory and sustainability challenges, would find themselves well-placed to compete for similar tenders in the future, leveraging their capabilities to expand within environmental sectors.
