Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is planning the renewal of the Research, Development, and Evidence (RDE) Framework. This procurement process, currently in the planning stage, aims to establish a framework agreement for scientific research and development services covering thematic areas such as food, farming, air quality and noise, ocean and fisheries, resource and waste, animal and plant health, and international biodiversity. A Market Engagement Event is scheduled for mid-February 2025, with the Invitation to Tender (ITT) expected to go live during the week commencing 14 April 2025. The procurement method involves a pre-notice to notify and engage with potential suppliers, encouraging transparency and dialogue within the market.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development consultancy services. Companies engaged in environmental monitoring, market and economic research, and marine research services will find this tender particularly relevant. The framework is designed to channel significant expenditure through a consolidated route to reduce the volume of individual tenders, thus offering a streamlined opportunity for suppliers. This initiative supports business growth by facilitating long-term, collaborative engagements with Defra and its Arm’s Length Bodies, promoting sustained demand for specialised research services.
