Nature and Us has been involving the people of Wales in developing a vision for the future of the natural environment. We wish to bring all the conversations and involvement undertaken so far together through recruiting a representative group of citizens in Wales to agree on the shared vision for 2050, and the steps / milestones needed to get there. The group will consist of a representative sample of Welsh citizens – reimbursed for their time – to ensure the diversity of views from across Welsh communities are heard, identifying where there is a a consensus, but just as importantly identifying the remaining contentious issues, setting out current understanding of what differences remain.

Delivery: Wales
Extensions: with the option to extend for a further 4 months. The value of the potential extension will be calculated at the same rates but will be subject to budget approval and will be limited to half the value of the initial contract.Variant bids: not allowed
