Design and delivery of a monitoring and evaluation programme for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

The purpose of this contract is to design and deliver an actionable programme of monitoring and evaluation activity for mandatory BNG in England. This programme of work must provide high-quality, robust and reliable evaluation evidence to help Defra, Natural England and all other BNG stakeholders to understand the extent to which BNG is implemented as intended (process evaluation), achieving its intended outcomes (impact evaluation), and proving a cost-effective means of delivering biodiversity gain (value for money evaluation).
