## Summary

DEFRA, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, has awarded a tender for "Labelling Consultancy support for the Windsor Framework" to Ernst & Young LLP. The tender falls under the General management consultancy services category with a contract value of £300,000. This procurement involved a selective procurement method, calling off from a framework agreement. The tender had a tender period ending on 28th June 2023 and a contract period starting on 3rd July 2023 and ending on 8th September 2023, with the delivery addresses located in London, United Kingdom.

The procurement process for the "Labelling Consultancy support for the Windsor Framework" led by DEFRA offers opportunities for businesses interested in providing consultancy services. This tender, which aims to support the implementation of the Windsor Framework between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, would be suitable for consultancy firms specialising in management consultancy services. The grant scheme designed as part of this procurement presents opportunities for businesses to engage in the implementation of new labelling requirements under the Windsor Framework.

## Notice

The Windsor Framework was agreed with the EU in February 2023 and defines a new model for moving goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This offers substantial opportunities to reduce friction for businesses and safeguard Northern Irish consumers' access to agrifood goods, but also requires rapid delivery by both government and businesses ahead of the initial go live date of 1 October 2023. Defra's Northern Ireland Directorate is tasked with implementing the Windsor Framework on behalf of the department. As part of this delivery, we need to rapidly design a grants scheme (as committed to by HMG as part of the Framework) to support businesses with the implementation of the labelling requirements under the new 'green lane'. This will require understanding the type of actions industry could take, their likely cost, and options for the design of a funding scheme
