## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has completed the procurement for a project titled "Modelling the dynamics affecting the UK Food Self-Sufficiency -Futures Framework." This project, classified under research and development consultancy services, was focused on locations including the UK, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. With an award status, Defra employed a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the contract period from 5th January 2026 to 10th April 2026, with the tender period ending on 19th December 2025. The contract was awarded on 22nd December 2025 to Decision Analysis Services Limited for a value of £41,458.33.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and development consultancy services, particularly those focusing on food security and agricultural modelling. Although this specific tender does not prioritise small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), it exemplifies the type of strategic partnership opportunities available through framework agreements. Businesses that thrive in complex, data-driven analysis and can align with the strategic goals of national departments like Defra would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts, potentially fostering growth in their expertise and market presence.
