This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
This sits below the typical range for Environment & Waste contracts — a smaller, more accessible award. Based on 11,894 valued Environment & Waste tenders in our corpus.
8 week phase 1 project to develop a scope for a follow-on phase 2 project that will deliver that scope.

About the project: The Environment Agency (EA) intends to undertake a comprehensive assessment of its nature and biodiversity footprint.
This project aims to identify and quantify the impacts of the EA's operations and supply chain on nature and biodiversity, forming the foundation for targeted, science-based management and disclosure reporting.
The footprint will be used to support the EA's commitment to sustainability and compliance with emerging international frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
The first phase of this project is to develop a clearly defined scope for the footprint.

2.
The scope/operational boundary of the footprint.
3.

Data plan, detailing: a.
The existing datasets that will be used. b.
Any necessary transformations that will be required to unify and standardise the data. c.
Data gaps that will need to be filled and a plan to fill them.
This should be a prioritised and phased plan. d.
A plan for ongoing data management.
5.
A draft outline delivery plan for the project.
