Visioning the Coast – Morecambe Bay 2050 and beyond

Closing date for submissions: 5pm, Mon 13^th July 2026

Timescale for delivery: Completion no later than 18^th December 2026

We are all learning to live with and adapt to climate change. As our climate changes, our coastline is changing too. Can you help us to create an innovative, imaginative and aspirational vision for the Morecambe Bay coast that shares not only the story of coastal change, but new opportunities and a positive, bright, thriving future? As we look to the future, help us generate a new sustainable vision of Morecambe Bay, that shows it to be an even better place to grow up, live, work and visit, in ways that are also beneficial to nature.

Morecambe Bay Partnership (MBP) wishes to commission digital creative production services  (e.g. multi-media designer, producer, visualiser, animator or similar) with experience of digital place-making and an interest in environmental sustainability to support the charity and the Our Future Coast project to create an inspirational future Vision for Morecambe Bay. You will create an inspiring, accessible, strategic vision for the Bay; one that is climate resilient, rich in nature and creates healthy blue and green spaces for people.

It will be a high-quality engagement output that tells the changing story (past, present, future) of the Morecambe Bay coast. It will help to inspire communities, businesses, partners, government agencies and stakeholders, to think about what a more positive, nature-friendly, and sustainable future coastal environment could look like, a future where we learn to live with and adapt to climate change. The output will foster positivity towards and understanding of Nature Based Solutions by visually demonstrating their role in managing coastal change, supporting nature recovery, and creating coastal spaces with multiple community benefits. It will make people feel connected to and proud of Morecambe Bay.

This project is being delivered by Morecambe Bay Partnership and the Our Future Coast project (2022-2027).  Our Future Coast is part of the DEFRA Flood & Coastal Resilience Innovation Programme, which is funding 25 projects across England to build community resilience to climate challenges like flooding and erosion. Our Future Coast is testing innovations around Nature Based Solutions – sustainable and natural alternatives to traditional hard engineered defence structures – around the Northwest Coast and working in collaboration with coastal communities to improve understanding and engagement in coastal and climate change.

Interested parties should submit a detailed work proposal to arrive no later than 5pm on Monday 13th July 2026.
