## Description

The Authority is looking for suppliers who can conduct a comprehensive assessment of the economic costs of INNS not previously estimated, including non-monetised natural capital costs\. The approach could be regionally focused \(and potentially habitat driven\) to be consistent with the 25 YEP and provides comparable value estimates on a per km2 basis\. This is important to ensure that the natural capital approach can be complemented by cost-effectiveness analysis to identify the most cost-effective interventions to control / eradicate INNS while also considering restoration costs\. More complex analysis may employ various scenarios to identify how a change in the abundance of some INNS \(e\.g\. relative to climate change\) may impact both natural capital and the cost of control, through a regional lens\.
