Researchers & contractors

Researchers

We commission a wide range of research  to underpin many aspects of our work. The research covers fifteen themes such as Coasts and Seas, Freshwater, Land Use, Biodiversity, Climate Change and Landscape. Our research priorities are driven by our Corporate priorities and operational needs.

Contractors

Our work is dependent on a wide range of contractors and service suppliers, whether for building works, stationery, information technology, research, ecological survey, publications or marketing.

As a government-funded organisation we strive to deliver the best possible value for taxpayers in everything that we do. We have in place procurement and tendering procedures which ensure a fair and competitive approach for all potential contractors and suppliers.
