Description

PLEASE NOTE: Advertised contract value of £5,000 to £8,000 is exclusive of VAT. The contract value is up to £10,000 inclusive of VAT.

The Connecting People with Nature Portfolio is commissioning this novel and innovative piece of research that builds the evidence base of where, how, and when people can have a positive impact on nature recovery. This research will support the portfolio aims in connecting more people with nature and increasing nature recovery.
Evidence shows that a good connection with nature brings improved physical and mental health, improves our sense of wellbeing and in turn, leads to more positive environmental behaviours. For this research we are focused on nature recovery outputs and outcomes as opposed to broader pro environmental or pro conservation behaviours. This research will identify nature recovery impacts from work undertaken across Natural England and with selected partners. This research will increase our evidence base and inform ways of working, helping to drive forward an inclusive programme of work to support nature recovery through engaging even more people from more backgrounds to develop a connection with natural environment , as well as building a picture as to what best practise across the organisation may look like in order when thinking about community engagement and nature recovery.

UKSPF Evaluation Project - Request for Proposal

Request for Proposal West Lancashire Borough Council is seeking a partner to conduct an evaluation of the UKSFP funding received into the Borough. This evaluation is being commissioned to create an integrated and independent account of what the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) has delivered in West Lancashire, and what can be learned to shape future investment. While the Council has achieved strong delivery across all three UKSPF priorities and its complementary REPF strand, formal evaluation has not been embedded into the programme to date. This presents a timely opportunity to consolidate fragmented insight, understand outcomes more clearly, and build a more structured approach to evidencing impact going forward.
