Description

ABOUT THE PROJECT
The overarching objective of this work is to provide a critical appraisal of the capacity of England's new agri-environment schemes (AES) to support the achievement of long-term biodiversity targets.  The OEP intends to use this appraisal to inform its reporting on Government's progress in delivering its Environmental Improvement Plan and achieving Environment Act 2021 targets.

The critical appraisal will be achieved through delivery of the following project elements, as described further in in the Invitation to Tender: 
A.  Assess the relevance and efficacy of all actions included in Sustainable Farming Incentive and Countryside Stewardship, identifying the priority actions for achieving biodiversity targets and any evidence about their uptake and implementation.
B.  Assess the coverage of specific species and habitats - and all relevant indicators for the biodiversity targets - provided by the priority actions identified in task A.
C.  A technical report synthesising the analysis.

The detailed scope and requirements for the work, and instructions for how to submit a tender, are provided in the Invitation to Tender.

30 by 30 conservation/ecological assessment & plan

This tender is offered as part of the Naturally Connected Project and is funded as part of the Nature Networks programme, supported by funding from the Welsh Government and The National Lottery Heritage Fund. We wish to invite a tender to provide: Objective 1: 30 by 30 Land Assessment Framework for the Terrestrial Environment A proposal outlining a clear, step-by-step system for the nomination, initial screening, and full evaluation of land against Welsh and IUCN definitions contributing to the 30x30 conservation target within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Objective 2: Mapped Audit & Progress Narrative A GIS-based audit of land currently contributing and potentially contributing (“candidate” land) to the 30 by 30 target. Include a narrative report that summarises current progress, baseline coverage, and strategic gaps. Apply techniques to resolve overlaps and duplication. Objective 3: Scoping Additional Candidate Land Identify and evaluate additional land parcels that may be targeted for inclusion toward the 30x30 goal using a dual approach considering both land suitability and local opportunity. Provide a mapped output of candidate sites along with a narrative justification for priority sites to target based on biodiversity value, ecological connectivity, and land-use feasibility. Objective 4: Strategic Action Plan Develop a detailed action plan guiding the National Park Authority on actions required to meet the 30x30 target. Include short-, medium-, and long-term milestones and recommendations for monitoring, reporting, and governance. Objective 5: Ecological Network Assessment Assess the extent to which implementation of the 30x30 action plan will support the development of Resilient Ecological Networks (RENs). Provide a narrative on the landscape- scale benefits and gaps and suggest refinements to maximise ecological resilience.
