    Brief

    This opportunity seeks a supplier to conduct focused evidence-gathering and research to identify, classify, and prioritize the most significant barriers—both real and perceived—to nature restoration efforts in England. The work should also identify associated enablers that could help overcome these barriers. Rather than creating an exhaustive inventory, the supplier should develop a practical prioritized list of major blockers by applying clear screening and prioritization criteria. The research should focus on testing the strongest or most consequential examples and concentrate analysis on barriers where meaningful progress could significantly accelerate nature restoration delivery. Suppliers should explain their methodology for bounding the scope, selecting which barriers to examine in depth, and ensuring the findings have practical impact for stakeholders and decision-makers.
