This initiative falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research and development services and related consultancy services. The tender is currently in the active stage of the procurement process and is set to close on 2nd September 2022. The total budget allocated for this project is £70,000, with the contract period expected to commence on 22nd September 2022 and conclude on 31st March 2023. This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in agricultural practices, food systems, and environmental assessments. Companies involved in economic research services or those capable of delivering comprehensive mapping and analysis of food production systems would be particularly well-suited to compete. The emphasis on developing sustainable food frameworks in the South African context opens avenues for businesses aiming to innovate in agricultural methodologies and contribute to national food security initiatives. ## Notice Over the past 5 years Cefas and other UK partners have been working with governments, academia, and NGOs (Non-Government Organisations) in Official Development Assistance (ODA) countries to develop improved capacity in aquatic animal health, Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR), environmental protection, food safety and security, collectively under the banner of One Health. Cefas and APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency) are now coordinating a UK ODA research and development project that aims to develop a risk analysis tool that places hazard identification and control at the heart of sustainable food system design. The requirement is to map the national crop food systems in South Africa (SA), to form the basis for future in-depth research on hazards and control. The mapping should: i. Describe the following activities: input supply, production, processing, by-products and waste disposal up to the point of retail/export (or the point of consumption in the case of subsistence production). ii. Catalogue the key organisations (companies, public and private organisations), and others (e.g. co-operatives, individual farms) involved. iii. Describe the volume of domestic consumption verses export. iv. Provide an understanding of how the crop food systems are embedded in geographical spaces and ecosystems in SA and shed light on their natural resource base, including the biodiversity and habitats occurring within the footprint of the food systems. v. Describe known or estimated greenhouse gas emissions of food production within each crop food production system. vi. Indicate which elements of the crop food systems are (1) essential to SA's national food security, (2) the mainstay of family subsistence, (3) essential to the country's food exports, and/or (4) an emerging alternative to dominant crop foods. vii. Essential - Identify elements of the food systems that cannot be adequately mapped due to insufficient recording of production or sales. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecf32e7a-3539-45b9-8ace-7835a6029c0c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | 2 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Sep 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79311400 - Economic research services ## Release History - 5 Aug 2022 at 13:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecf32e7a-3539-45b9-8ace-7835a6029c0c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecf32e7a-3539-45b9-8ace-7835a6029c0c 5th August 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/9617141201826E14FDEE Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
