Projects for Nature

This tender will be for a service to provide a platform that connects corporate donations and nature recovery projects in England. It will also look to secure a service provider to generate business interest and manage the requests to fund nature recovery projects.

This tender will follow a pilot which is already running and due to complete on 31st March 2025. The pilot chose to use an online platform operated by Crowdfunder and business engagement and project management services delivered by Accenture. No public funding will be available for these services, instead the service provider's costs will be met wholly through fees paid on corporate donations. (The pilot has used this model and can make available the charges on corporate donations made through the Crowdfunder platform).

Specification will include:
- A supplier to set up and host the online platform that lists the projects and displays amount donated https://www.projectsfornature.com
- A supplier to lead on business engagement, provide project management expertise, and carry out comms functions.

These functions may be provided by the same supplier or suppliers working in partnership.

- The projects on Projects for Nature are England only, but the supplier may be open to extending the platform to other countries within the United Kingdom, provided there is interest from the relevant Devolved Administration.
