## Summary

The public procurement process involves the review of opportunities in the bioeconomy for domestic agricultural sectors, including oilseeds, cereals, non-food crops, grass, and livestock. The tender, initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focuses on assessing the emerging opportunities for UK farmers within the bioeconomy, particularly in terms of feedstock production and land use. The tender was published on 3 December 2020 and had a submission deadline of 8 January 2021. The contract period spans from 1 February 2021 to 1 February 2022, and the procurement method used is an open procedure, aimed at engaging a wide range of suppliers, particularly in the services category.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the agricultural sector, particularly those involved in research consultancy services. Companies that specialise in bioeconomy-related consultancy, agricultural biomass production, or have expertise in related fields would be well-suited to compete. The focus on supporting UK farmers and maximising public goods from diversified production systems indicates potential for innovation and sector growth, making this an attractive project for SMEs and larger firms alike seeking to expand their market presence and contribute to sustainable practices.

## Notice

The aim of this study is to review the opportunities in the bioeconomy for domestic agricultural biomass, with a focus on feedstock production and land use implications. This project will horizon scan and assess the emerging opportunities for UK farmers to engage with the bioeconomy via the domestic production of agricultural biomass. The bioeconomy extends to all non-food opportunities for crop biomass, including fuel, fibre, chemicals, renewable materials etc. The work will stimulate ideas for further research to maximise public goods from diversified production systems, and to highlight the opportunities with the greatest potential for sector growth potential and trade.
