Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has issued a tender titled "Demonstration Test Catchments projects for 2019/2020" aimed at conducting an independent evaluation of the National Demonstration Test Catchment (DTC) Network developed between 2009 and 2019. This initiative falls within the research services industry category and is focused on addressing agricultural diffuse pollution to enhance water quality in rural river catchment areas. The procurement method chosen is an open procedure below the threshold, with the tender period having ended on September 9, 2019, and the contract likely commencing on October 16, 2019, and concluding by March 17, 2020. Businesses are encouraged to register via the Defra Network eTendering Portal to access relevant documents and participate in the process.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research services, particularly those specialising in environmental consultancy, data evaluation, and related fields. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to engage, given the nature of the services required and Defra's supportive procurement stance towards these organisations. Leveraging the knowledge from the DTC programme can position participating firms as key players in the evolving landscape of environmental management and policy enhancement.
