## Summary

Natural England procured staff workshops for its Catchment Sensitive Farming programme. The requirement is environmental training services, delivered in the United Kingdom. The contract title identifies the workshops as being for Catchment Sensitive Farming staff. The description characterises the requirement as a self-service procurement above the relevant self-service threshold, with the process added to Atamis for audit purposes. This points to a defined staff-training requirement rather than a wider catchment-management or advisory services contract. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs managed the procurement on Natural England’s behalf. RSK Adas was selected to provide the services. The procurement covered one lot, with the award associated with that lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Natural England used limited competition below the threshold, and the contract was awarded to RSK Adas. The single-lot contract, titled Catchment Sensitive Farming: Staff Workshops, was signed on 14 October 2026. Its contract period runs from 14 October 2026 to 17 March 2027. The contract value is £52,448.88 excluding VAT and £62,938.66 including VAT. The award is recorded as active. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so no assessment basis beyond the limited-competition route can be reported. The contract is for services, classified as environmental training. The award covers delivery in the United Kingdom.

This award indicates demand from Natural England for practical environmental training for staff working on Catchment Sensitive Farming. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need credible capability to design and deliver relevant staff workshops, with subject knowledge suited to environmental land management and catchment-sensitive farming. Experience translating technical environmental practice into useful training for professional staff would support a strong offer. The limited-competition route and single-lot award show that this requirement was packaged as a focused service rather than divided into separate workstreams. RSK Adas, a large supplier, won the contract, providing a reference point for the scale of delivery the buyer selected. Training providers with relevant environmental expertise, workshop delivery capacity and experience serving public-sector or agricultural audiences are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
