Type
Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Natural England, a government body for the natural environment, wants a research project into how farmers see and make decisions about the landscape features on their land, such as hedges, woodland and water. The work will end in a decision-making tool, either new or an update to an existing one, that helps farmers factor these features and their value to the farm and society into their choices.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out a rapid review of existing research on the topic (a quick but structured survey of what has already been published) • Interview farmers and visit farms to understand how they view and decide about their landscape assets • Create a new decision-support tool, or amend an existing one, that includes landscape assets and their value

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications or certifications, but it needs a supplier able to run a research review, interview farmers, visit farms and develop a decision-support tool within a fixed budget of £49,500, which may be hard for a business without research or consultancy experience.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.

Where to apply

The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
