Notice Description

The digital services partner(s) will maintain and modernise current ARE payment systems, while they are transformed, or replaced over time to the services that will be required for new forms of support and advice outside of the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

The platform processes payments of over 540 million GBP annually to customers, to the benefit of Scotland's rural communities and our rural economy. The platform processes 41,800 claims per year for about 20,000 customers and has well over 99% availability to customers 24/7, 365 days a year.
