UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

A self-contained nature finance game that allows players to virtually develop nature recovery projects funded using private and blended finance. Using the GFI Investment Readiness Toolkit as a framework the game will start by presenting players with options such as whether they want to play a seller or buyer, followed by various seller or buyer scenarios. Once a player has picked a role they will be taken through the process of developing a nature recovery project using private and blended finance from the start through to signing legal documents and the work starting on the ground. They will do this by working through a series of scenarios. They will have to complete every scenario satisfactorily to be able to move onto the next scenario. Reasons for not completing a scenario properly will be given, as will explanations of why they have completed a scenario correctly. Where possible there will be more than one correct way to complete a scenario. The game will be for Natural England so will focus on the roles that NE staff are likely to play at each stage of a projects development but will also be able to be used by Environment Agency and Forestry Commission staff carrying out nature finance related roles.

The Local Government Association (LGA) is seeking a supplier to undertake a focused policy research project exploring the interaction between NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and local authority adult social care. Recent evidence has highlighted growing concerns about the relationship between CHC decision-making, adult social care expenditure and the incentives created by current funding arrangements. ADASS's Spring Survey 2026 found that 75% of Directors of Adult Social Services reported an increase in the number of people presenting to adult social care who were, or previously would have been, eligible for CHC, while 84% reported that Integrated Care Board (ICB) disinvestment in CHC was contributing to adult social care overspending pressures. Research published by The King's Fund found that CHC eligibility rates have fallen significantly despite no change to the national eligibility framework, alongside substantial variation between different ICB areas. While CHC provides the primary lens for this project, the LGA is also interested in the wider question of whether current funding and accountability arrangements across health and social care create incentives that transfer costs and risks between organisations rather than supporting whole-system decision making. The LGA wishes to better understand: • How these issues are playing out locally • Whether current arrangements create misaligned incentives between organisations • The impact on local government, the NHS, people drawing on care and support, and unpaid carers • What reforms could improve alignment between health and social care funding and accountability. This work will inform future LGA policy development and engagement with government, national partners and stakeholders.

The Valuation Tribunal Service (VTS) is an arm's length body sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). We are responsible for administering the Valuation Tribunal for England (VTE). The Valuation Tribunal for England hears and determines disputes that are made by ratepayers and/or council tax payers because they are challenging decisions taken by the local council or the Valuation Office on their council tax or business rates. It is constituted of three Vice Presidents (one of whom is currently discharging the functions of the Tribunal President whilst recruitment to this role is ongoing), 141 Senior Members (who chair Tribunal panels) and 39 ordinary Members (who complete panels of 2-3 overall). The Senior Member and Member positions are all voluntary, and there is no requirement to be legally trained or hold any other professional qualification. Support we are looking for: In February 2027 (dates tbc), the JAC will be launching a new recruitment exercise for VTE Senior Members and Members, where we anticipate looking to recruit a new intake of 150 individuals. An online pre-application seminar for prospective applicants will likely be held in mid-January (hosted by the JAC). We do not believe that the existing marketing approach of the JAC will attract sufficient applicants, nor a diverse profile of professional backgrounds beyond lawyers. We also know that overall volunteering levels across England are below pre-Covid levels and generally stagnant. We are seeking costed proposals to cover the following phases of work: Phase 1: Developing and implement a VTS marketing approach (and supporting materials) for the February 2027 recruitment exercise (to complement that of the JAC) to drive increased applications from a broader diversity of professional backgrounds and individuals interested in volunteering. Deliverables to include: • Small amount of insight (talking to small number of existing members and senior staff) • Design development (brand identity for the campaign) • Develop campaign materials (purpose and case study-based; digital assets including content for website, social media, and including both written/brochure; social media templates; videos and clips). • Advice on social media channels and support on establishing and building those channels, and implementing campaign through those channels. • Communications plan and delivery (with a particular focus on the target groups outlined below in section 5). • Establish measures against which we can measure impact and success, to inform future activities. Capture learning from impact of this approach to inform our future Member recruitment activities. • Build staff capability. We would want and expect materials to be accessible to all users (and meet minimum Government standards on this). Proposed delivery milestones (subject to agreement): • Comms plan - Mid-November • Case study/marketing materials - end of November/early December • Website/social media changes or additions - early December • Wider marketing activity - December/January 2027 • Impact measurement/capability handover - March 2027 Desired outcome: An uplift in applications to the February 2027 campaign from non-legal applicants. Phase 2: Evaluation of this marketing approach, with recommendations about how the VTS could best approach its future marketing activities for volunteer recruitment. We recognise that the limited work of Phase 1 may ask questions of our broader organisational comms approach, and recommendations in this regard would be welcomed. Proposed delivery milestones (subject to agreement): • Lessons learned/future recommendations report - March 2027 • Recommendations of overall future organisational comms approach - March 2027

ergonomic standing and raising aid that mobilises residents/patients during everyday activities, such as transfers and toileting and we need 3 of these items

Individuals and communities from different Faiths are known to benefit from nature's health and wellbeing offers; they are known to enjoy and show great passion for the natural world. Yet they are also at risk of reduced opportunities for nature connection and involvement in nature recovery. Additionally, they can be under-represented in nature spaces, experiencing inequity of access to green and blue spaces. We have identified a gap where there is currently no evidence brief, report or academic paper which details (i) barriers to nature engagement for Faith groups (ii) enablers and examples of interventions that have been developed and tested, detailing what works where and why, and for which Faith groups. Evidence briefings for other (sometimes intersecting) population groups known to face barriers to nature (people with disabilities, those on lower incomes, older people and ethnic minorities) have been produced and published by Natural England in the well-received Included Outside series of evidence briefings. Insight into barriers within different faith groups is currently missing from this set of evidence, and we anticipate there are likely to be different barriers and enablers for different Faiths and lived experience groups within this diverse population.

The purpose of the research is to understand the practical factors that contribute to successful delivery when ICT services are provided across more than one organisation and to identify the arrangements that should be established from the outset to support effective operations, accountability, decision-making and service performance. Rather than focusing solely on formal shared service models, the research should consider a range of collaborative ICT delivery arrangements, including lead authority models, partnership arrangements, jointly managed services and other approaches where responsibility for ICT delivery is shared across multiple councils.
