## Summary

Defra procured a Catchment Sensitive Farming one-to-one advice programme for farmers in the East Midlands and West Midlands. The service is classified as environmental training and focuses on individual advice rather than general training. Delivery is across the two Midlands regions; Defra is the buyer, based in London. This requirement is part of Defra’s work to provide catchment-sensitive farming advice, with the programme title identifying the specific service as the Midlands one-to-one advice programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to RSK ADAS Limited. Defra used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 21 October 2026, for £85,050. The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 12 May 2027. The tender deadline was 8 October 2026 at noon. The published procurement information identifies the work as a single service requirement covering the East and West Midlands. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the process details.

The award shows Defra buys specialist, one-to-one advice for its Catchment Sensitive Farming programme across the Midlands, using call-offs from a framework. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver tailored advice to farmers across both the East and West Midlands, with the expertise and operational reach to serve a regional programme. The selected supplier, RSK ADAS Limited, is a large organisation, indicating the scale of provider that secured this award; the published details do not identify particular accreditations or technical qualifications. Suppliers should therefore assess whether they can match the required regional delivery capacity and provide a focused individual-advice service through the relevant framework route.
