The portfolio of services a BioHub tenders into markets, each with its retention logic and contractable form named. Populated in Panel 3 of the BioConomy Value Proposition Canvas and specified in the Value Proposition Statement produced by the BioConomy Value Proposition Template.
Extended definition
The Value Proposition Template treats six service categories as a portfolio, not a menu. A BioHub may prioritize one or two for a current tender cycle, with the others documented as ready-after-build-out or speculative-pending-research in the Readiness Diagnostic. The portfolio framing keeps the full range of services visible even where the cohort is only tendering a subset.
The six service categories:
Water yield. Restored streamflow, delayed release, catchment discharge patterns. Tendered to metropolitan utilities, water funds, and outcomes-based bond structures. Grounded in Water Retention Landscape science.
Carbon sequestration. Soil carbon build-up, above-ground biomass, restored ecosystem carbon stocks. Tendered to carbon market instruments, corporate ESG buyers, and outcomes-based structures where the verification methodology can measure the retention.
Biodiversity data. Species inventories, habitat extent, biodiversity outcome verification. Tendered to nature-related disclosure buyers (under TNFD and successor frameworks), biodiversity credit instruments, and research institutions.
Heritage and tourism. Custodial and cultural knowledge, heritage sites, tourism experiences that circulate value back into the community. Tendered to tourism markets, heritage institutions, and philanthropic patrons.
Food systems. Regeneratively produced food, cooperative supply chain participation, food security contributions. Tendered to food supply chains, cooperative buyers, and food-system philanthropy.
Coordination-as-employment. The BioHub’s convening and verification capacity as a service to external counterparties, and the pathway to gainful employment for community members. Structurally equivalent to the other five services rather than an afterthought.
Contrast with adjacent framings
A service catalog lists offerings ranked by demand. The Tenderable Services Portfolio holds all six with their retention logic named, whether or not the cohort is currently tendering each. The catalog is transactional; the portfolio is coordinative.
A single-product pitch focuses attention on one offer. The portfolio framing keeps the full retention economy of the BioRegion visible. A BioHub tendering water yield alone still holds the biodiversity data, heritage, and coordination-as-employment services in its portfolio; they may become the priority tenders of a later cycle.
