## Summary

On 13th June 2025, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) awarded a contract to SRUC for conducting a life cycle assessment of bovine tuberculosis effects on greenhouse gas emissions and livestock productivity in England. The procurement process was initiated as a tender, utilising a selective procurement method based on a call-off from a framework agreement. The industry category falls under "Research and development consultancy services," with a total value of £105,524.60. The process is in the award stage, with the contract beginning on 11th June 2025 and set to conclude on 11th June 2026. The contract delivery includes multiple regions such as the UK, Channel Islands, and Europe, amongst others.

This tender offers growth opportunities primarily for research and consulting firms with expertise in agricultural and environmental science.
