NPWS nature-restoration framework services

Verified opportunity overview

The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage seeks nature-restoration framework services on behalf of the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The official procurement workspace remains the controlling source for supplier decisions and current documents.

Current status and key dates

The opportunity lifecycle is open. The controlling submission deadline is 2 November 2026, 15:00 Europe/Dublin; status must be reopened before any later publication or supplier action.

Scope and deliverables

This CfT seeks a suitably qualified contractor to develop a nature restoration framework for studying how a new, predominantly state-funded approach, administered by an entity/Department other than the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), could provide genuine additionality to relevant current land use policies and programmes, e.g. CAP. How should a new framework to support nature restoration and conservation be designed, structured, and administered to provide genuine additionality and complementarity to the Common Agricultural Policy 2028-2034, and other relevant national funding streams, while ensuring seamless delivery for farmers and public and private landowners whilst safeguarding public and European funding accountability. This description is deliberately bounded to what the official public workspace states and does not extend unstated deliverables.
