In plain English

Neath Port Talbot Council wants an independent consultant to evaluate the Lost Peatlands Connections project, a three-year scheme restoring upland habitats and engaging local communities and schoolchildren across four valleys in Neath Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taff. The estimated value is £35,175, and the evaluation runs from December 2026 to July 2029.

What the buyer wants

• Hold a contract award and inception meeting in December 2026, then deliver a preliminary evaluation report in March 2027 reviewing project plans, grant documents and monitoring tools, with recommendations for better data collection. • Deliver a mid-term evaluation report in April 2028 assessing progress against project aims and National Lottery Heritage Fund principles, including stakeholder interviews with partners, volunteers and community representatives. • Deliver a final evaluation report in August 2029 covering project outcomes, governance and legacy, and assessing how the project responded to the mid-term recommendations.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice excerpt is cut off before any selection or eligibility criteria appear, so it does not state specific qualifications or turnover thresholds, but the work requires evaluation to National Lottery Heritage Fund guidance over three years, so a small firm would need proven evaluation experience and capacity to run stakeholder interviews and produce three formal reports.
