What is being bought

Published requirement description

NatureScot has a requirement to place a contract with an external service provider for the provision of Species on the Edge Programme Monitoring and Evaluation.

Species on the Edge is a programme of work to safeguard a suite of nationally and internationally important species around Scotland’s coasts and islands. Delivering the objectives of nine species action plans in seven project areas, the programme encourages cross-sectoral collaboration in joint, multi-species work plans delivered through shared resources. It aims to provide a blueprint for a new way of working within the conservation sector.

NatureScot, working on behalf of the Species on the Edge (SotE) partnership, is commissioning a suitably qualified consultant to finalise a monitoring and evaluation plan for the programme and to work with the partnership to deliver a clear and comprehensive programme of monitoring and evaluation.
