FAQ
- How does the auction work?
- The auction allows farmers and land managers to bid for funding to construct and maintain one, or multiple, measures on their land.
- To do this, the user can bid for an amount of funding for the bundle of measures they wish to implement.
- After the auction you will be contacted by Dartmoor National Park Authority to discuss your bids.
If your bids are successful you will need to sign up to these terms and conditions.
- How will I know if my bid is successful?
- When you place a bid for a measure, you will be receive an email confirming that your measure has been submitted to NatureBid. Once the auction has closed, you will be contracted by Dartmoor National Park Authority to discuss your bids.
- Can I change my bid once I've submitted it?
- You can change the price, shape, and size of your measure up until the auction has closed.
- What am I bidding for?
- You are bidding for funding to construct or adopt one, or multiple, measures on your land. You will need to maintain the capital items (e.g. hedge planting, leaky dams and soil bunds) for a minimum of five years after implementation, so you should account for this in your bid. The land management options (e.g. arable subsoiling) are one-off options on the basis of one year / growing season.
- What are the measures?
- How can I ensure that my measure meets standards?
- After the auction closes you will be contacted by a member of our team to discuss how your chosen measures will work best on your land, and they may also make a follow-up site visit to ensure that the measure has been implemented correctly.
- When and how will I be paid for implementing the measures?
- After the follow-up site visit to verify that the measure has been implemented correctly, payment will be made via bank transfer.
- Who can I contact if I have a problem?
- If you have a problem using the online auction tool, please contact Tim Lee at tim.lee@environment-agency.gov.uk or on 020 3025 2522.
