The project will ensure that for each ARI: • Priority research questions and methodologies are identified; • The readiness of novel technologies and data approaches are assessed; • Interdisciplinary and cross-sector capability needs are clarified; • Policy-relevant evidence gaps and uncertainties are identified; and • Coordinated research networks capable of rapid future delivery are established. 3. Project Background JNCC, Defra, and wider government require robust, forward-looking evidence to support work towards biodiversity commitments, environmental targets, food security objectives, and international obligations. Delays in establishing coherent evidence baselines and research priorities risk duplication of effort, inefficient allocation of future Research & Development (R&D) funding, reduced policy effectiveness, and missed opportunities to integrate emerging technologies and approaches. The six ARIs all relate to complex challenges requiring interdisciplinary approaches that integrate ecological, socio-economic, technological, governance and policy expertise. With existing evidence bases varying significantly in maturity, methodological consistency, and accessibility to decision-makers. The project will support effective future R&D investment and decision-making, and demonstrate a model for rapid, coordinated, cross-institutional research to provide policy-relevant evidence foundations to support the design of targeted research on strategic biodiversity and environmental challenges. 4. Project Objectives To meet the overall aims of this project (Section 2), the objectives are: 1. To develop six evidence synthesis reports aligned to JNCC's ARIs. • Each evidence synthesis report will include: o Collation of an evidence database; o Evidence synthesis and gaps identification; o Identification of solutions and emerging issues; o Incorporation of technical expertise across the CASCADE consortium and JNCC through workshops and review opportunities. 2. To develop six summary policy briefings and presentations, associated to the finalised ARI evidence synthesis reports. 3. To develop a cross-cutting recommendations report. • The report will include: o Recommendations for future targeted research investment; o Incorporation of technical expertise across the CASCADE consortium and JNCC through workshops and review oppo... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/cascade-evidence-synthesis-and-research-for-jncc-s-areas-of-research-interest-ocds-h6vhtk-0777ef) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 73100000, 73210000, 90713000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** CASCADE evidence synthesis and research for JNCC's Areas of Research Interest (pending) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **Department of Biology, University of Oxford, University of Oxford** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-PPON:PXBQ-8636-LZHY`, `GB-FTS-79643` - Value: £490,000 (exc.
