## Summary

The recent procurement process titled "Operational Delivery Project Support" is initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, located in London, England. This contract, categorised under data analysis services, aims to ensure the continuity of exports for animals and related products post-Brexit. The tender period concluded on 18th September 2020, and the contract is active from 19th October 2020 to 31st January 2021. It follows a selective procurement method, as part of a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total contract value of £28,560.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in data analysis services, trade logistics, and agricultural supply chains. Companies that can provide technical support in developing retail assurance schemes, as well as ensuring operational compliance with export protocols, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement process is designed to foster growth in sectors crucial to the UK's food supply and trade facilitation, making it an ideal opportunity for both established firms and smaller enterprises looking to expand their service offerings in this vital market area.

## Notice

The NIP & Exports Team aims to keep the continuation of exports of animals, products of animal origin, plants and seeds to the EU and other third countries, as well as trade to Northern Ireland when the Transition Period ends. We shall do this by developing and delivering the technical processes needed to enable exports and trade in live animals, products of animal origin, plants and seeds to continue from GB after the Transition Period ends. Without a successful implementation there will be a significant adverse impact to the UK's food supply and to the wider food and farming sectors. This role will specifically focus on: - supporting the development of a retail assurance scheme and the land bridge scheme - supporting the operability aspects of the protocol: ensuring the correct infrastructure and operations are in place to allow trade to continue Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions.
