This procurement process, currently in the planning stage, involves a detailed examination of design and maintenance strategies to enhance benefits from green infrastructure. Key actions need to be taken by interested parties to submit their credentials, with a deadline set for 17:00 hours on 5 June 2017. The procurement is classified under environmental protection services, and it operates within the context of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, urban planning, and systems analysis, particularly those with a strong track record in multi-stakeholder engagement. Consultants with expertise in social housing and green infrastructure solutions are encouraged to participate, as their insights will contribute to best practices in delivering sustainable and effective social housing projects. Furthermore, firms adept in facilitating workshops and generating innovative strategies for complex issues will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. ## Notice Scottish Natural Heritage wishes to commission research into opportunities to deliver multiple benefits through the good design (including 'retrofitting'), and maintenance of green infrastructure associated with new and existing social housing in Scotland. The approach should include a review of current practice, multi-stakeholder engagement/facilitation and the use of systems analysis to identify barriers (social, cultural, regulatory, knowledge etc.) to best practice. The output will be a report that includes recommended action to support the delivery of more social housing that maximises the benefits of green infrastructure and ensures those benefits are sustained. These should be relevant to social housing providers (including local authorities, housing associations and housing cooperatives), housing authorities, policymakers and other public and private stakeholders that have a role in delivering social housing. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Please refer to the details in Section II.1.4 above.
