This open procurement process, classified under the CPV code 72314000 for data collection and collation services, has a submission deadline set for 1st November 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st January 2022 and end on 31st March 2024, with a total budget of £205,000 allocated for this initiative. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in pest monitoring, data collection, and analysis services. Firms equipped to contribute either to the pest and virus sampling network or the data management component will find this an ideal competition. The invitation to bid for separate Lots also allows small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate, making it a favourable environment for innovative businesses seeking to expand their influence in the agricultural and data analysis sectors. ## Notice AHDB is seeking to develop a new programme of activity addressing the detection of pests, weeds and diseases. Monitoring for their presence is a key component of integrated pest management (IPM). Currently, AHDB fund a research project which aims to improve Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) management through the adoption of IPM principles, particularly the use of vector (aphid) monitoring and decision support systems (DSS). The project outputs will include recommendations on the specific components of a cost-effective and practical BYDV monitoring service. AHDB intend to use BYDV as a pilot study to inform the development of data management protocols. Lessons learnt from the pilot will inform AHDB's thinking for a wider monitoring solution for pests, weeds and diseases and analysis and interpretation of the integrated datasets. Currently, there are monitoring services which provide a landscape-scale view of numbers and species of aphids flying. However, information on local aphid numbers and the potential threat from BYDV would be beneficial in improving decision making. In the pilot AHDB intend to support a programme of sampling and testing to provide an indication of aphid and virus pressure at a local (field) scale. This work will be referred to as two components, a pest component and a data component. Suppliers for each component will be expected to work in close co-operation with each other and AHDB. This will include the sharing of sampling protocols and details of any fields where monitoring might take place. The tender is split into two Lots: - Lot 1 Insect and BYDV sampling network - Lot 2 Data component: collection, collation, analytics and outputs AHDB expect that Suppliers may not have the collective expertise both in aphids and the data collection, so AHDB will welcome bids where Suppliers may bid for either both Lots, or separate Lots.
