Our aim is to help millions more people enjoy time in nature close to home, in greener, thriving towns and cities. We want more urban areas to use nature recovery and nature-based solutions to tackle health inequalities and climate change, and to put nature at the heart of communities to grow their prosperity, connection and resilience. This commission sits within the Nature Finance workstream of Nature Towns and Cities. Nature Towns and Cities is looking to support Local Authorities and their partners in accessing private funding. Specifically, through developing a marketplace of tokenised urban greening interventions - starting with Urban Tree Tokens - supported by an urban greening code and registry. ### SCOPE OF THE WORK Nature Towns and Cities holds a draft code - an adaptation of BSI Flex 701 - for tokenising urban greening interventions, and a methodology specifically for urban tree tokens. This research is seeking to test and refine the code through stakeholder engagement, and to understand what the governance, structuring and operations of a code and associated marketplace and registry should look like, resulting in the production of a governance and operations report, (including summary and recommended strawman code and registry governance and operations options and mapping of code, registry and marketplace responsibilities/roles), marketplace governance eligibility criteria and governance framework, and refined Urban Greening Code. ### INFORMATION TO BE RETURNED Submissions should include the following information: · Outline of your proposed approach to the project, including details of methodology, proposed outputs, timeline and high level risk log. · Description of your relevant experience and abridged CVs of the proposed project team, including examples of at least two similar pieces of work you have carried out. · Proposed budget breakdown. · Details of any matters or concerns not covered by this brief. Submissions should be no more than 8 pages in length. Abridged VCs can be included as appendices. These should be returned to by the deadline of 5pm, Friday 24th October 2025.
