30 by 30 conservation/ecological assessment & plan

Description

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.
