## Summary

Natural England commissioned the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) to support Hello Lamp Post in phase 2 of delivering its farm engagement tool. The procurement is for market research services connected with that farm engagement work. The named supplier is RASE, an agricultural society based at Stoneleigh Park in Kenilworth; no delivery location is stated.

The process is complete and the contract has been awarded to the Royal Agricultural Society of England. Natural England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 10 October 2026 to 30 January 2027. Its value is £62,857 excluding VAT (£75,428.40 including VAT). The award covers one lot. The procurement data does not give a separate award date or describe evaluation criteria.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Natural England, this award indicates demand for support to a farm engagement tool, specifically its second delivery phase, and associated market research. A credible competitor would need to show relevant market research capability and an understanding of farm engagement and the needs of agricultural audiences. The selected organisation is an established agricultural society, suggesting that sector knowledge and the ability to engage with farming communities are pertinent strengths. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold requirement, so this outcome is evidence of a specific purchasing route as well as of the buyer’s requirement. It does not establish that comparable work will follow the same route.
