Description

We are contracting Green Finance Consultancy to undertake a prioritised review of available green finance investment and markets; design a comprehensive business model and develop a finance plan to deliver the nature restoration vision for CCaLL. We are interested in hearing from consultants who can develop new and innovative ways of utilising private finance for nature restoration. This could be, for example, by making our project more attractive to investors, local businesses or by demonstrating value-for-money by leveraging public funds to close the "funding gap".

The business model is a key project deliverable, and there is a stipulation that the public funds given to the project implementation do not "crowd out" private finance. DEFRA require that the business model and finance plan outlines the following:

- the costs of delivering the project over the life of the Landscape Recovery grant agreement, the length of which will be bespoke, decided when preparing for the next phase of the project, but is expected to be > 20 years.

- any sources of private investment - this could include income over the life of the project, for ecosystem services such as (biodiversity, carbon or ecotourism), and upfront investment from private organisations.

- the conditions of any private investment such as repayment terms or monitoring and reporting needs.

- how cash flow will be directed to capital projects.

- how public funds can be used to make the project financially viable.

- risks to the projected cashflow.

We anticipate the final model and plan to be ready for submission to Defra by end of October 2025
