description
WWF-UK's UK Landscapes Team (formerly the UK Freshwater Team) has employs specialist consultancy advice to help deliver the Team's objectives and work plans. The focus and exact requirements for this advice have varied year on year, as the nature and delivery of the Team has adapted to WWF's overall Strategy, funding sources, and the external policy landscape.
We are now at a stage where we wish to appoint a consultant to assist us for calendar year 2020. The focus areas of work are set out in Section 2 of the attached Terms of Reference. Underlying considerations relevant to the appointment are:
| • | The gradual embedding of WWF-UK's new Strategy from 2019 onwards, and in particular the Food and Fight For Your World goals within which the UK Landscapes Team delivers. |
| • | The transitional nature of the UK Landscapes Team work under this new Strategy: into landscapes and agriculture from the previous Strategy's focus on freshwater (although freshwater cannot be disaggregated from the new areas of work, eg. diffuse pollution from agriculture and GES failures under the WFD) |
| • | Now that the Brexit pathway is clear, the tabling in Parliament of the Agriculture and Environment Bills and the need to ensure the resulting Acts deliver for the environment. |
| • | The uncertainty and delay for farmers grappling with massive changes in subsidy support and potentially many other business circumstances. |
| • | The huge importance of farmer opinions, the potential for their behaviour change, and the linkages to civil society attitudes to food and farming. |
We wish to work with a suitably experienced consultancy provider across all the work areas, as consistency of approach and the overlapping nature of the areas is central to the consultancy. We are open to applications from individual consultants and consultancy companies.
Please submit your proposal by 5pm, Wednesday 12th February 2020 to the WWF-UK contact named in the Terms of Reference document (Simon Aguss). Your proposal must contain:
| • | An analysis of how you fulfil the required skill set. |
| • | CVs or other statements of relevant experience of staff who may work on the consultancy, along with their specialisations and proposed roles |
| • | A fee proposal including: |
| o | Day rates for you, and any other member of staff who will work on the consultancy |
| o | A total value for the consultancy time, based on 18 days of input |
| o | An allowance of £1,000 for travel/ancillary costs |
| o | Your VAT status with VAT, if applicable, clearly identified |
Please send responses by email to Simon Aguss, UK Catchments Manager, WWF-UK: saguss@wwf.org.uk
