Summary of the contracting process

Natural England has commissioned a project titled "RDE586 Environmental Impacts of Outdoor Pig Farms and Exploration of Potential." This initiative falls under the industry category of "Research and development consultancy services" (CPV Code 73200000) and aims to mitigate and reduce air and water pollution in commercial outdoor pig farming. The project will involve test and trial projects, workshops, and consultations with stakeholders. The contract, awarded to Ricardo-AEA Ltd, is valued at £49,995 GBP and spans from 8 August 2024 to 31 March 2025. The procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 1 August 2024.

Notice Title

RDE586 Environmental Impacts of Outdoor Pig Farms and Exploration of Potential

Notice Description

Natural England propose to commission an explorative project on mitigation and reduction of air and water pollution in commercial outdoor pigs, considering environmental, economic and welfare aspects. Currently, there is a lack of evidence on this subject. Exploration on this topic would be incredibly beneficial in supporting the development of a best practice guide for stakeholders and their delivery of environmental, sustainable farming and infrastructure enhancements. It would also provide evidence for future related research projects inclusive of air quality monitoring for outdoor pigs. We require information from not just reports and literature, but from test and trial projects, inclusive of workshops with partners and stakeholders on outdoor pig fields, to inform the exploration of mitigation and reduction measures.
