In plain English

Natural England, the government body that looks after England's natural environment, wants an independent review of how geology and landscape features (geodiversity) are included in Local Nature Recovery Strategies, the local plans for wildlife and habitat recovery. The work will also identify good examples and benefits, and produce practical guidance on how geodiversity should be built into future strategy delivery and reviews.

What the buyer wants

• Audit how geodiversity is currently covered within Local Nature Recovery Strategies and report on the gaps. • Identify and demonstrate good practice, opportunities and wider benefits for nature recovery. • Produce clear guidance on including geodiversity in future LNRS delivery and review processes.

Likely requirements

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

The work needs genuine geodiversity and geological expertise alongside policy knowledge, so a firm without specialist technical staff or an established environmental consultancy track record is unlikely to be competitive.

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.
