## Summary

The procurement process for the project titled "Decision-making research into farmers' cattle purchasing behaviour" was initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on social research services. The contract, valued at £89,993, is part of a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 22nd October 2019 and is set to conclude by 29th May 2020. The location for delivery is London, specifically in the postal district SW1P 3JR, with the tender having reached the award stage as of 23rd December 2019.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in social research and consultancy services, particularly those focusing on agricultural sectors and animal health. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-placed to compete, given the nature of the project, which entails understanding the impact of purchasing behaviour on cattle TB risks. Companies with expertise in policy impact research and those capable of providing insights into responsible purchasing are encouraged to engage in similar procurement activities to support growth in this area.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to inform Defra's understanding of the impact that future policy may have in the area of responsible cattle purchasing with respect to TB risk. Crucially, this project should inform how to help prevent the introduction of infection into their herds, through responsible consideration and management of any purchases of animals that carry more risk of bTB infection.
