About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to University of Exeter for extending the Outdoor Recreation Valuation (ORVal) tool, a web application developed by the Land, Environment, Economics and Policy (LEEP) Institute.

The project builds on the original ORVal prototype to enable significant extensions to the underlying statistical model and functionality, including broadening coverage from England to other UK countries, incorporating household transport mode choice, better capturing greenspace quality impacts on site choice, enabling batch upload of new sites for valuation, adding heat map functionality for optimal new site locations, and improving search capabilities and result disaggregation.

The contract value is AUD 29,731.
