## Summary

The Satellite Applications Catapult is currently seeking proposals for the role of Agriculture Value Stream Business Development Lead as part of an open tender process. This initiative is aimed at establishing a trusted entity to support decision-makers within the global agricultural supply chain, focusing on deforestation commitments related to imported commodities. The tender was published on 14th October 2019 and will close on 11th November 2019. The total contract value is £160,000 and will span from 6th December 2019 to 4th December 2021. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically the CPV classification for business development consultancy services, and is open to all interested parties.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services aimed at agricultural and environmental sectors. Companies with expertise in sustainable practices, supply chain management, and risk assessment related to deforestation would be particularly well-placed to compete. The project not only supports immediate business development needs but also positions successful bidders as key players in addressing broader environmental challenges within the agricultural industry.

## Notice

The Satellite Applications Catapult (Catapult) and partners are currently working in collaboration with ESA to create an operational neutral trusted entity (NTE) to support decision-makers across the global agricultural supply/value chain (e.g. Investors, Retailers, Traders, Manufacturers, Government, NGOs) to operationalise deforestation commitments for imported commodities. The Catapult are in the process of securing funding to deliver a two-year project to support the creation of this entity. In the project phase, our work will focus solely on supply chain deforestation assessments, but will be designed to evolve longer term functionality for risk flagging and verification in relation to the wider environmental and social footprint of Forest Risk Commodities.
