## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has completed the procurement process of a single-source contract for continued maintenance and support of the Exodis-FMD and Economic Consequences Model (ECM). The procurement falls under the IT services category, including consulting, software development, Internet, and support, and is conducted through a direct procurement method as a single tender action below the threshold. Key dates include the tender period ending on 28th June 2024, with the contract to run from 2nd July 2024 until 1st July 2027. The project budget is £99,957. The services will be delivered across various regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and elsewhere globally.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those providing sophisticated mathematical modelling support. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this contract particularly appealing due to DEFRA’s suitability criteria. Firms with a track record in maintaining and supporting complex software models would be well-suited to compete. As a direct procurement process involving continued support for existing proprietary software, businesses that have established expertise and prior engagements with DEFRA or in relevant domains may have a competitive edge.
