## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is currently facilitating a tender for the project titled "Review of International Approaches to Organic Regulations and Labelling," aimed at assessing various national organic regulations in light of the UK's exit from the EU. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically dealing with data collection and collation services. The tender period is set to end on 8 January 2018, with the contract period scheduled to commence from 22 January 2018 and concluding on 21 July 2018. Businesses interested in this opportunity should be aware that registration on the Bravo e-tendering portal is required to access tender documents.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in research, data analysis, and content standardisation services. Companies adept at navigating regulatory environments and offering innovative insights into organic regulations will find this tender particularly suited to their capabilities. Engaging with this procurement process may enable businesses to contribute actively to shaping future UK policy directions in organic labelling, thus fostering growth and expansion within the sector.

## Notice

With the UK's exit from the EU comes the chance to potentially adapt national organic regulations. Various options are available, ranging from keeping the current EU approach to considering adopting alternative models (or parts thereof) used in other third countries. The central aim of this project is to scope out the differences in national organic regulations between the UK, EU, EEA countries, the recognised third countries/equivalence models and other third countries or models of interest, highlighting the key strengths and weakness in order to provide an evidence base for future UK policy direction. The value of a UK specific organic label should also be investigated. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions.
