- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
A self-contained nature finance game that allows players to virtually develop nature recovery projects funded using private and blended finance. Using the GFI Investment Readiness Toolkit as a framework the game will start by presenting players with options such as whether they want to play a seller or buyer, followed by various seller or buyer scenarios.
Once a player has picked a role they will be taken through the process of developing a nature recovery project using private and blended finance from the start through to signing legal documents and the work starting on the ground. They will do this by working through a series of scenarios. They will have to complete every scenario satisfactorily to be able to move onto the next scenario. Reasons for not completing a scenario properly will be given, as will explanations of why they have completed a scenario correctly. Where possible there will be more than one correct way to complete a scenario.
The game will be for Natural England so will focus on the roles that NE staff are likely to play at each stage of a projects development but will also be able to be used by Environment Agency and Forestry Commission staff carrying out nature finance related roles.
