The procurement method used is an open procedure above threshold, with the tender period concluding on 15 March 2019. The total contract value amounts to £59,292, and the contract duration is from 15 April 2019 to 14 April 2022.

Notice Information

Notice Title

ERANET - SusCrop - NETFIB

Notice Description

NETFIB is a consortium project proposed to the SusCrop ERA-Net, which Defra is a member of. The sharp increase in demand for plant based fibre raw materials as substitute for man-made fibres in products as diverse as textiles and car parts can only be met by an increased land area given over for fibre production. However, land is a scarce resource and there is perceived land-use conflict between the needs of food production and non-food production. Producing non-food crop on land marginalised for example by contamination, which is unsuitable for food production might help mitigate this conflict. Nettle (Urtica dioica) has a long history as a fibre crop, but has not been well used in modern times. NETFIB's overall aim is to develop the capacity for farmers and other land managers to recover nettle as a fibre crop from marginal land, which would otherwise remain under-used, in conjuction with the phytomanagment of that land to manage any risks from it Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions.
