This procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with documents made available electronically via the DEFRA e-sourcing system. The tender was published on 14th December 2021 and is valued between £60,000 and £80,000, with a contract duration from 1st February 2022 to 16th May 2022. The deadline for submissions is set for 10th January 2022. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in agricultural data collection and analysis. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-positioned to compete, given the emphasis on innovative and flexible approaches in research methodologies. Potential partners should have capabilities in handling data related to livestock management and veterinary practices, as DEFRA seeks to fill existing evidence gaps and improve animal health and welfare. Participating companies could benefit from insights gained through collaboration with a governmental entity that prioritises sustainable farming practices. ## Notice DEFRA published 'The Path to Sustainable Farming: An Agricultural Transition Plan 2021-2024' in November 2020. And the plan period commenced on 1st January 2021. As part of this transition the Government is developing publicly-funded schemes that will make ongoing payments for demonstrable animal health and welfare improvements. These will include: an animal health and welfare pathway to address treatment of endemic diseases; a capital grants scheme for investments that are known to raise levels of health and welfare; and a payment by results scheme. This project will address evidence gaps in this area and fulfil the research requirement as well as informing the commissioning of further research, tests, trials and pilots.
