In plain English

The New Forest National Park Authority, Natural England and the Forestry Commission want an outside expert to assess how much deer management capacity and skilled workforce exists in and around the New Forest National Park. The findings will feed into a Protected Site Strategy and an action plan for managing deer in the area.

What the buyer wants

• Build an evidence base on current deer management capacity and capability within and around the New Forest National Park. • Assess the skilled workforce available to deliver effective and sustainable deer management in the project area. • Support the convening of experts and stakeholders to inform the Protected Site Strategy and Strategic Action Plan for deer management.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The notice sets out no formal entry criteria, but the work calls for specialist knowledge of deer management, land and wildlife management and the New Forest, so a generalist consultancy without that background would likely struggle to compete.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
