This procurement, classified under environmental protection, is located in Inverness, UK. The tender is currently in the open stage, with submissions due by 6th January 2021. It has a projected budget of £50,000 and will be carried out through an open procedure. Interested participants can submit their proposals electronically via the Public Contracts Scotland portal. This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental services and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in natural capital assessments and landscape-scale projects. Companies involved in rural policy development, ecological studies, or similar fields may find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this phase will not only allow businesses to contribute to important environmental initiatives but also potentially open doors for future contracts as the Scottish government adapts to post-EU rural policy frameworks. ## Notice The first phase of a project that has the overall aim of testing how a natural capital approach might work at a landscape-scale. The project will help to inform how future regional priorities might work at a landscape-scale, with incentives working in better alignment, and moving away from a single priority focus. It will inform future rural policy approaches as we exit the European Union and are no longer subject to the Common Agricultural Policy. The aim of this phase is to undertake a desk-based assessment of natural capital across Islay and Wester Ross Biosphere Region. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The first phase of a project that has the overall aim of testing how a natural capital approach might work at a landscape-scale.
