Notice Information
Notice Title
Genetic Improvement Network (GIN) Platform
Notice Description
The Authority is seeking to procure the Genetic Improvement Networks (GINs) Platform, which will undertake research and development (R&D) to enable the genetic improvement of major UK crops. The overarching focus of this Platform is the delivery of agri-environmental public goods. The GINs will enable the development of new information and resources for the sector, including novel pre-breeding material containing characteristics such as improved tolerance to existing and emerging priority pests and diseases, increased nitrogen-use efficiencies and greater resilience to the pressures which come with climate change. Strong knowledge exchange processes and stakeholder networks will ensure that information and resources are disseminated to research end-users (including crop breeders, wider industry and farmers). Furthermore, strong linkages with breeding companies will ensure that beneficial genetic traits identified in the GINs make their way into elite commercial lines. It is envisaged that the research will be centred around 5 key crop groups and therefore the procurement project will be split into 5 lots: Lot 1: Oil Seed Rape Lot 2: Pulse Crops Lot 3: Soft Fruit Lot 4: Vegetables Lot 5: Wheat Suppliers may bid for up to two lots. Documents can be accessed via the Authority's eSourcing procurement portal https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome
