## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal seeking services for horticultural statistics in the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 22 January 2020 and is classified under the horticultural services industry (CPV code 77300000). The tender period is set to end on 24 February 2020, with the contract beginning on 1 May 2020 and running until 30 April 2023. This procurement follows an open procedure, indicating that any qualified suppliers may submit tenders. The main delivery addresses include various locations across England and the UK's overseas territories.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in agricultural data collection and analysis. Companies that can provide reliable data on horticultural production volumes and values are well-suited to compete. By fulfilling this contract, successful bidders will contribute to critical statistical reporting that meets both UK and EU requirements, thereby positioning themselves as key players in the horticultural sector.

## Notice

Provide annual data to the Defra statistics team on the volumes of production and values of key horticultural crops (fruit, vegetables and ornamentals) that growers receive. This data is used to produce statistics that meet UK and EU requirements. The statistics produce annual estimates of the UK supply of horticultural produce and the share of UK consumption and production of UK farm accounts. The data will become part of an ongoing time series of horticultural statistics. There is a statutory requirement for this data; the information is required to fulfil Regulation (EC) No 543/2009 for the provision of horticulture production statistics to Eurostat.
