## Notice

To form an expanded delivery partnership working primarily with Business Information Point (BIP), who delivered the previous pilot work and first phase of project. Several additional local organisations will also support delivery to expand the geographic area to cover the whole of the Heart of the South West LEP area and increase the outputs in terms of farms supported. These, additional service providers will be procured under the Public Contracts regulations 2015 as a separate piece of work. The intention is to procure Business Information Point (BIP) and Cosmic Consortium via direct award from the Business Support Framework to provide resilience support to farmers and land managers to help them prepare for, and adjust to, the Agricultural Transition by addressing the opportunities it presents and the impacts it could have. The project will also monitor the impact and value for money of this resilience support. BIP have previously been contracted to deliver the pilot and interim phase of this programme. This funding is for the final (scale up) phase of the Future Farming Resilience programme. For this call-off, BIP will be the lead provider within this Consortium and will be the organisation providing the support to the other providers that we are procuring separately. Cosmic will be sub-contracted to carry out some of the digital workshops and 121 support on behalf of BIP. Cosmic offer specific expertise in the digital aspect of farm resilience and upskilling.
