What is being bought

Published requirement description

This commission requires the supplier to produce creative and effective communications materials for the Protected Site Strategies (PSS) programme.

This will include advisory assistance with the campaign elements of the PSS Strategic Communications and Engagement Plan (to be shared with the contractor), particularly with respect to engaging stakeholder groups who do not commonly work in close partnership with Natural England.

These materials will support the role out of the first tranche of PSS by filling any gaps identified in version 1.0 of the Advisory Guidance and will subsequently contribute towards the second version of the Advisory Guidance.
