The purpose of the framework is to provide clear, accurate and targeted advice, training and information to farmers, other land managers, their advisers and communities on environmentally sustainable land management, so that they are better informed to make business decisions that maximise outcomes for the natural environment.
The main objectives of the framework are to:
— provide advice, training and raise awareness and understanding of, and engagement with, environmentally sustainable land management,
— improve the level of skills to allow land managers and associated individuals to deploy measures to improve sustainability and efficiency,
— provide an integrated, consistent, targeted, high quality and cost-effective service to farmers/land managers, including their advisers and communities.
The framework will encompass a range of advice themes.
The framework suppliers will be required to use competent and suitably qualified advice providers to deliver mini-contracts, who have a minimum of 2 years practical experience of successfully delivering advice and information to farmers/land managers and their advisers (unless otherwise specified). The team of advisers collectively should have experience and understanding of the following:
— knowledge of British farming, forestry and sustainable food production, animal and plant health, business and management skills and rural communities,
— knowledge of the natural environment and biodiversity,
— knowledge of sustainable green economies and resilience to climate change (including current strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation in agriculture),
— knowledge of British agricultural performance, rural economy and competitiveness,
— knowledge of diffuse pollution from agriculture, management and protection of soils, natural flood management, water resources and agri-environmental issues (including CAP reform),
— experience of delivering European funded advice projects, including compliance with EU regulations.
