## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has awarded a contract titled "Assessing the impact of non-tariff measures on specific UK exports of agri-goods, fish and seafood." The procurement falls under the "Research and development consultancy services" category. The procurement method used was a direct approach with a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period is from 11th June 2024 to 27th December 2024, with the tender period closing on 3rd June 2024. The delivery addresses are in London, United Kingdom.

This tender by DEFRA presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in providing research and consultancy services related to non-tariff measures on agri-goods, fish, and seafood exports. Businesses specializing in research and consultancy services within the agriculture sector are well-suited to compete. The tender aims to quantify costs of compliance with EU NTMs for UK exporters and provide insights to mitigate barriers to exporting to the EU.

## Notice

Aims This project aims to provide, where possible, granular quantitative estimates of the costs of compliance with EU NTMs for GB and NI exporters via a comprehensive review of trade processes in the agri-goods, fish and seafood sectors. It will include quantitative estimates where possible of the cost of compliance with internal NTMs for GB businesses transporting agri- goods, fish and seafood to NI post Brexit. The specific aims of this research are to - * provide updated NTM cost estimates for GB and NI exports of agri-goods, fish and seafood goods to the EU. * provide NTM cost estimates for GB businesses transporting agri-goods, fish and seafood products to NI, if possible with cost estimates separated out by Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP)/Windsor Framework (WF). * understand the scale of the costs associated with NTMs. * establish whether any firms ceased trading or reduced exports as result of TCA and/or NIP/WF NTM requirements. * determine what aspect of NTM trade related measures are the most prohibitive to exporting to the EU. * note suggested solutions to reduce the costs associated with EU NTMs, including incorporating specific trade facilitation and other measures. * identify which NTMs represent the greatest burden to businesses and how firms and the supply chain have responded to these costs.
