Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has recently completed the procurement process for the project titled "RDE877 - Pesticide Load Indicator - Phase 7 - Method Optimisation". This award, tagged under the Research and Development consultancy services industry category, covers a broad geographic scope including the UK, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. Initially posted under a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, the process culminated with the award on 2nd September 2025. The tender aimed to ensure the pesticide load indicator remains relevant to the National Action Plan targets, with the contract period running from 22nd September 2025 to 20th March 2026, and a total value of £29,938.30.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in scientific research and development, particularly those specialising in agricultural and environmental consultancy services. Although the procurement method was selective, potentially limiting competition to pre-qualified suppliers, the nature of the project demands advanced expertise in pesticide usage and data analysis. Thus, large-scale companies similar to Fera Science Ltd, which was awarded the contract, will find themselves suitably equipped to contribute to the development and ongoing optimisation of the pesticide load indicator, enhancing their capabilities and reputation in the consultancy sector.
