## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal focuses on "Quantitative modelling for post EU Exit trade deals" within the UK agricultural industry. This tender, which has been awarded, aims to provide the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) with impact assessment analysis related to UK trade deals, such as with the US. The contract spans from November 27, 2020, to November 26, 2023, with a total contract value of £89,425. The open procurement method was used for this tender, which had an initial tender period that ended on November 10, 2020, at 12:00 PM.

This awarded contract represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in economic research services, particularly those with experience in agricultural trade or impact analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this contract especially relevant as AHDB seeks to engage with suppliers capable of assessing trade scenarios and building in-house modelling competencies. The work involves significant collaboration with the buyer, potentially benefiting firms that have a strong analytical capability and an understanding of agricultural markets in a post-Brexit context.

## Notice

AWARDED - The aim of this procurement is to provide AHDB with impact assessment analysis that will quantify, assess and analyse the impact of a UK/US trade deal and future trade deals. Huge uncertainty hangs over the industry while the UK negotiates its departure from the EU, the most immediate and pressing challenge being to determine what relationship might be entered into in terms of access to the EU single market. For this service contract, AHDB are seeking a three year contract with the successful applicant. AHDB intend to examine approximately two trade deals per year, so six in total, as well as develop the ability to run and rerun different scenarios as negotiations with each trade agreement progress. AHDB would aim to work closely with the successful applicant to both sketch out the trade deal scenarios and to develop in house expertise on running the modelling work itself.
