The contract was awarded under an open competition method, specifically a below-threshold competition, and is categorized under research and development services related to consultancy. Located in London, the project commenced in early July 2026, with completion and invoicing due by mid-March 2027. The contract was awarded to ChamberlainWalker Economics Limited and is valued at £44,880 gross (£37,400 net) for a period ending on 28th February 2027. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development services with a focus on environmental and heritage consultancy. The project involves engaging with scientific evidence and industry guidance to assess multi-objective benefits such as biodiversity and carbon sequestration, creating potential growth opportunities for firms with expertise in environmental consulting. SMEs like ChamberlainWalker Economics Limited, which showcases the capability and versatility to deliver such complex projects, stand to benefit from similar future opportunities from government bodies like Natural England seeking to meet Environmental Improvement Plan targets. ## Notice The aim of the project is to establish a baseline of the available evidence for the co-benefits provided by AES heritage actions. The aim is supported by these objectives: assess the range of multi-objective benefits (including but not limited to evidence on biodiversity, soil health, water quality, carbon sequestration, heritage, landscape character, access and engagement); identify where heritage actions contribute to Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP) targets; quantify the wider VfM of the heritage actions; identify evidence gaps and further research needs. The review will also identify gaps in the current evidence base that limit robust assessment of these cobenefits. The outputs of the project are: scoping review of scientific papers, journals, industry guidance to enable an assessment of multi-objective benefits; report on the findings; infographic or one page briefing paper for a non-technical audience; and a webinar. The project will start in early July 2026 and must be completed and invoiced by mid-March 2027. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/068360-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Jul 2026 | | Contract period | 19 Jul 2026 - 28 Feb 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | £40,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £37,400 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATURAL ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CHAMBERLAINWALKER ECONOMICS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Jul 2026 at 14:37 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/068360-2026 - 25 Jun 2026 at 12:37 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059861-2026 - 23 Jun 2026 at 14:46 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059086-2026 - 23 Jun 2026 at 08:51 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058787-2026 - 22 Jun 2026 at 10:35 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058416-2026 - 11 Jun 2026 at 09:58 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055064-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/068360-2026 20th July 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059861-2026 25th June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059086-2026 23rd June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058787-2026 23rd June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058416-2026 22nd June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/055064-2026 11th June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-17594 RFQ - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-17595 Order Form - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-17596 Commercial Response - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-18053 Clarification to Bidders Questions - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-18120 Clarification to Bidders Questions - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-18148 Clarification to Bidders Questions - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-18251 Request for quotation ## Notice URLs - https://cweconomics.co.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
