## Summary

The University of East Anglia is procuring specialist field-course services for students undertaking original research in ecology, biodiversity and conservation in a tropical environment. The requirement is centred on the Taricaya Eco Lodge and EcoReserve in Peru and combines the practical elements of a study visit with research support, specialist environmental training, higher-education services and related travel arrangements. The buying organisation is the University of East Anglia, based at Norwich Research Park in Norwich. The selected provider is Taricaya EcoReserve, an environmental fieldwork organisation in Madre de Dios-Tambopata-Las Piedras, Peru. The work is a service rather than a supply or construction contract, and is suited to providers able to support university students conducting supervised research in a tropical conservation setting.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to Taricaya EcoReserve. The award is active and the contract was signed on 26 August 2026, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The contract value is £180,000 gross. The procurement was evaluated and concluded as a single award for the field-course service, covering travel-agency or similar services, research services, higher-education services, specialist training, training programme services and environmental training. The contract is active rather than cancelled or terminated. The arrangement therefore records a completed purchasing decision for a multi-year student field-course requirement, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the specified service.

This award shows demand from a UK university for a specialist provider able to combine tropical field access, student learning and original research support in ecology, biodiversity and conservation. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of delivering environmental field courses, supporting higher-education groups and providing structured training in a live conservation setting. Capability in research facilitation, field logistics and travel-related arrangements would be relevant because the requirement spans research, environmental training, higher-education delivery and similar travel services. Providers with an established tropical site or dependable local operating arrangements in Peru would be well placed to demonstrate that they can support students safely and effectively. The existing supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of specialist requirement can be delivered by a focused provider rather than only by a large corporate organisation.
