Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Sustainable pig production systems (SCF0207)" is conducted by Defra Network eTendering Portal in the UK. This contract falls under the services industry category, particularly focusing on research and experimental development services. The tender, which is currently in the Award stage, has a total value of approximately £99,981 and covers a contract period that started on 1st August 2017 and will end on 29th February 2020. Interested suppliers were required to submit their proposals by 3rd July 2017, and the tender was awarded on 1st August 2017 to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in sustainable agriculture, veterinary services, and environmental consultancy, especially those SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that focus on enhancing sustainability in food production. Businesses that can offer innovative technologies or methodologies for data collection and analysis in pig farming systems would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts in this area. The collaborative nature of the project, which involves active farmer participation, further opens avenues for businesses to engage with end-users and potentially implement best practices across multiple jurisdictions in Europe.

Notice Title

Sustainable pig production systems (SCF0207)

Notice Description

Despite pig farmers' needs for recommendations on how to optimise the balance between apparently conflicting pillars of sustainability (economy, environment, society), there is very little on-farm data to support informed holistic decisions. SusPigSys therefore aims at collecting, summarising and disseminating evidence-based information on successful strategies for improving sustainability in various pig production systems across the EU. Project outcomes include an integrative on-farm assessment and feedback tool to help pig farmers to improve their economic, environmental, and societal sustainability (e.g. animal health and welfare), as well as their job satisfaction. Farmers in all partner countries will be actively involved throughout the project to ensure that outcomes meet farmers' needs. After researchers and stakeholders have identified points to be addressed, a detailed sustainability assessment protocol will be developed based on existing protocols and including the guidelines provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The protocol will be applied on a total of 70 farms in 7 European countries (AT, DE, FI, IT, PL, NL, UK) to generate a database from which a valid, condensed protocol can be developed using multivariate statistics. The condensed protocol will then be applied on 175 farms with various production systems in 7 countries. Data from farm visits will be used for developing an integrative analysis toolbox for summarising farm data, and the protocol and toolbox will be linked with an existing international pig production database to allow enhanced benchmarking. The integrative analysis toolbox will include information on possible trade-offs between the three pillars of sustainability and be integrated in a software to form a farmer decision support tool with farm-individual feedback. In addition, descriptions of best practices will be published in various formats to help farmers learn from each other across borders.
