## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is conducting a completed procurement process for a social research project aimed at understanding farmers' attitudes towards cattle and badger vaccination against bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in Great Britain. Classified under research and development consultancy services, this open tender had its end date for submissions on 10 December 2021. The contract period commenced on 4 January 2022 and runs until 31 May 2022, with a total contract value of £74,571. The tender is intended to inform the strategies of the Defra and the devolved governments in Wales and Scotland.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in research and development services. Companies with expertise in agricultural research, veterinary science, and public health are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Engagement in this project can enhance a firm's profile, offering a platform to demonstrate capability and potentially secure further work within the agricultural and environmental sectors.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to inform Defra, Welsh Government and Scottish Government about farmer current/future willingness to vaccinate or facilitate the vaccination of both cattle and badgers against bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in Great Britain (GB). The work should support understanding of the barriers to using these vaccines, how to support their usage and any unintended consequences of their wider application. From this we would also want to understand what Defra, Welsh Government and others can do in terms of best facilitating vaccination.
