## Summary

The procurement process for the surveillance of Brown marmorated stink bugs in the UK has concluded, with the contract awarded by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra). This falls under the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services, with a contract value of £25,000. The selective procurement was a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period ending on 31st May 2025 and the contract period commencing on 1st June 2025, concluding on 31st March 2026. The delivery of services will span various locations, including the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Europe, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those with expertise in environmental surveillance and pest control. While the current award was made to NIAB, there are potential growth opportunities for organisations looking to innovate or expand their service offerings in monitoring and controlling agricultural pests within the UK and globally. Companies equipped with cutting-edge research capabilities and a strategic understanding of legislative requirements would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders, driving advancements in the sector.
