NCF: Deer management strategy consultation

It's issued under the Research Development & Evidence Framework Agreement reference 30210 for the provision of the Deer management strategy consultation analysis.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) ('the Customer') Defra is commissioning analysis for responses to a consultation on proposals for the deer management strategy. The consultation will inform a deer management strategy which we will publish later this year.

The consultation presents a series of questions; seeking responses from closed questions that provide multiple options (primarily using a Likert scale on strongly agree to strongly disagree) and two questions in which invite free text responses. We also anticipate some written responses from key stakeholder groups to be submitted to the mailbox which support the consultation.

All the responses to the consultation need to be analysed and fed back into the design of the deer management strategy.
