Forestry and Land Scotland · Scotland

Forestry and Land Scotland (the Authority) looks after the national forests and land to enhance biodiversity, support tourism, and increase access to the green spaces that will help improve Scotland’s physical and mental health and well-being. The Authority also continues to provide vital timber supplies to support a sustainable rural economy. Further information on who the Authority is and what it does can be found here: https://forestryandland.gov.scot/. The Authority has a requirement for the provision of Environmental Surveys, as part of the process of managing the national forest estate. The surveys are utilised to make operational decisions which will impact of FLS’ mission ‘to look after Scotland’s forests and land, for the benefit of all, now and for the future’. Survey requirements include: - Ecological Surveys (animal, bird and plant species); - Ecological Surveys (habitat walkover survey); - Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) Surveys (including Rhododendron); - Peatland Surveys (Depth Assessment, Condition Monitoring and Peatland Code); - Archaeological (walkover survey); and - Archaeological (measured survey).

Scottish Natural Heritage · Scotland

NatureScot work to improve our natural environment in Scotland and inspire everyone to care more about it. We work to ensure that all nature in Scotland - our key habitats and landscapes, all our green space and our native species - are maintained, enhanced and bring us benefits. Our priority is a nature-rich future for Scotland and an effective response to the climate emergency. Peatland ACTION funding - from Scottish Government - primarily supports on-the-ground peatland restoration activities and is open for applications from eligible land managers who have peatlands that would benefit from restoration. There are no geographical restrictions or target areas for Peatland ACTION funding. Peatlands are an iconic part of the Scottish landscape and have many benefits for people and nature. Healthy peatlands provide important ecosystem services including storing and sequestering carbon, supporting unique and specialised biodiversity, improving downstream water quality, and regulating water flow to provide natural flood management. In contrast, damage to peatlands reduces or reverses these benefits. For example, degraded peatlands release stored carbon and are a major global source of greenhouse gas emissions. Peatland ACTION is led and funded by Scottish Government and delivered in partnership with NatureScot, Cairngorms National Park Authority, Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park Authority, Forestry and Land Scotland, and Scottish Water. Since 2012, Peatland ACTION has set over 66,000 hectares of degraded peatland on the road to recovery, but this effort needs to accelerate rapidly in the coming years to help address the twin crises of the climate emergency and biodiversity loss. The appointed Field Ecologists will work with the Peatland ACTION Technical Team and Project Officers located across Scotland to help support species and ecological survey requirements for Peatland ACTION restoration sites.

Cloch Housing Association Ltd · Scotland

Cold homes, damp, mould and fuel poverty are driving poor health outcomes, increasing pressure on healthcare services and deepening inequalities. While Registered Social Landlords are investing in warmer, more energy-efficient housing and responding to new regulatory requirements, fuel poverty means many vulnerable residents remain at risk, even in high-quality homes. Current approaches are often reactive and lack mechanisms to target support for those that might be the very most vulnerable, addressing issues only after harm has occurred. This Challenge seeks innovative solutions that can help registered social landlords identify where housing conditions, fuel poverty and individual vulnerability combine to create the greatest risk of harm, then translate that insight into practical, targeted action that combats these impacts, improves tenants’ health and wellbeing outcomes, protects homes and makes better use of limited housing and support resources. Solutions must be affordable at RSL scale, protect tenant privacy, and connect insight to action so that Cloch can complete investigation and repair work within statutory timescales.

Scottish Government · Scotland

This Challenge presents an exciting opportunity to make a positive difference in protecting children in Scotland from harm, an area of the highest priority for the Scottish Cabinet and partners. Scotland’s child protection system relies on Inter-Agency Referral Discussions (IRDs) to make timely safeguarding decisions for children (over 17,000 IRDs took place during 2024-25). IRDs are effective and work well as a process, however they are currently supported by fragmented IT systems, manual processes and localised records. This results in duplication, delays, and barriers to information sharing across agencies and local authorities. These inefficiencies increase administrative burden, reducing time available for direct support to children and families. The Scottish Government, Police Scotland and the National Social Work Agency (TBC) are seeking innovative solutions that will enable secure streamlined multi-agency information sharing for the existing IRD process, as well as providing real-time local and national data to improve child protection outcomes across Scotland.

University of Strathclyde · Scotland

Scotland has the highest drug and alcohol related death rates in the UK and Europe. People with substance use issues (PWSUI) often need help outside normal 'office' hours or from a distance from offices, and support is not uniformly available throughout Scotland. The support landscape in Scotland is fragmented, hard to navigate, and varies by locality. When support isn’t readily available (or isn’t trusted), people and their families and friends often default to emergency services or remain unsupported. As a result, those who use substances often experience avoidable crisis escalation, or remain in extremely difficult situations, and support services miss opportunities for early, harm-reducing interventions. The Preventing Harm, Promoting Recovery: Scotland’s Alcohol & Drugs Strategic Plan 2026 – 2035 specifically addresses the crucial need to tackle early intervention and widen an individual’s ‘circle of support’. This ‘circle of support’ is at the heart of this Challenge, and a successful solution would enable people to access the right support sooner, regardless of locality. It should harness the power of existing trusted services, family and community to reduce avoidable demand on emergency and NHS services – and if possible, create a ‘feedback loop’ of learning, intelligence and insight so that the overall issue can be tackled in a continually improving manner.
