## Summary

The procurement process titled "Crop Pest and Disease Survey Review" is initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, based in London, England. This tender falls under the research services category and is currently in the active tendering stage. The deadline for submissions is 6th December 2019, with the contract period set to commence on 6th January 2020 and conclude on 3rd July 2020. The procurement method is an open procedure, which is below the threshold, providing a transparent opportunity for various bidders.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in research services related to agriculture and pest control. Businesses with expertise in agricultural research, pest management, or related fields would be well-suited to compete, given the tender's focus on assessing diseases that affect crop yield and quality. Engaging in this contract could enhance a business's reputation and expand its reach within the agricultural sector.

## Notice

Diseases (incorporating invertebrate pests and pathogens) can cause major losses in crop yield and quality which land owners try to minimise by using pesticides, fungicides and, where available, by growing resistant varieties. Within the UK, Statutory Plant Health Legislation is in place to combat new threats from non-indigenous diseases. However, the greater the severity of endemic diseases the less consistent crop productivity is. The incidence and severity of endemic diseases can fluctuate greatly from year to year; being influenced by many things such as climatic variables and the crop itself. Due to the fact that the relative importance of each individual disease varies in this way, annual assessments of their spatial and temporal distribution help in understanding their epidemiology and therefore the targeting of appropriate control measures in response to risk.
