Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has completed a public procurement process for a project titled "RDE871 - Design of a long-term pesticide resistance monitoring scheme 2025-26". This contract provides research and development consultancy services and has been awarded under a framework agreement through a selective procurement method. The contract, with a value of £71,910, will cover multiple locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract period is set to begin on 1st August 2025 and will end on 27th February 2026. The award was made on 29th July 2025, with RSK ADAS Limited as the successful supplier.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in research and development, particularly those with expertise in agricultural consultancy and monitoring schemes. While this specific tender has been awarded, similar future opportunities from Defra could be of interest to large-scale companies specialising in these areas, given the requirement for a selective procurement process and call-offs from framework agreements. Companies equipped to handle complex, long-term monitoring projects across diverse geographical locations would be well-suited to compete in such tenders.
