This project falls under the category of research and development services (CPV code: 73000000) and aims to enhance the capacity for sustainable food systems in the UK’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) initiatives. The tender is currently at the active stage, with a submission deadline of 2nd September 2022. The total value of the contract is £70,000, with the contract period expected to commence on 22nd September 2022 and extend until 31st March 2023. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research, consultancy, and environmental services, particularly those with a focus on aquatic systems and food security. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in economic research, environmental analysis, and agricultural consultancy would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Companies with experience in mapping and assessing ecological impacts in relation to food systems, as well as those adept in data analysis and stakeholder engagement within the aquatic sector, may find this project particularly advantageous for their growth. ## 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 aquatic food systems in South Africa, 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). ii. Describe the volume of domestic consumption verses export. iii. Describe post-harvest losses throughout the value chain. iv. Provide an understanding of how the aquatic 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. Identify elements of the food systems that cannot be adequately mapped due to insufficient data availability. vi. Catalogue the key organisations (companies, public and private organisations), and others (e.g. co-operatives, individual farms) involved. vii. Describe known or estimated greenhouse gas emissions of food production within each aquatic food production system. viii. Indicate which elements of the aquatic food systems are (1) essential to SA's national food security, (2) the mainstay of family s subsistence, (3) essential to the country's food exports, and/or (4) emerging alternatives to dominant aquatic foods. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ad3414c4-89ed-4d8f-b010-92dcb3d77eeb | | 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 13:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ad3414c4-89ed-4d8f-b010-92dcb3d77eeb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ad3414c4-89ed-4d8f-b010-92dcb3d77eeb 5th August 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/3198951401826E202536 Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
