The aim of this work is to produce an independent report that explores the economic impact of climate-induced extreme weather events on Welsh agriculture that can be presented to Welsh Government and other relevant decision makers. We would like the report to highlight the potential of sustainable farming techniques to help Welsh farms mitigate and adapt. Research from WWF Scotland highlighted that extreme weather in 2017-18 alone cost Scottish farmers PS161 million due to livestock losses and lower crop yields. We would like a similar analysis undertaken for Welsh farming. This report will be used to help influence the detail of Welsh Government's upcoming Sustainable Farming Scheme, highlighting the risks Welsh agriculture faces if transformative change is not delivered through the Sustainable Farming Scheme. A wider aim of the work is to challenge the perception that the most important aspect of food security is food production alone, especially when the bulk of Welsh production does not serve the Welsh market. Instead, food production's reliance on resilient ecosystems is a core message of our wider advocacy work that we hope this report will support. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0fb568ce-e0bd-4ae4-85d5-3ad82c60c922 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 3 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Nov 2023 - 14 Jan 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £9,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 19 Oct 2023 at 07:15 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0fb568ce-e0bd-4ae4-85d5-3ad82c60c922 - 17 Oct 2023 at 07:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0fb568ce-e0bd-4ae4-85d5-3ad82c60c922 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0fb568ce-e0bd-4ae4-85d5-3ad82c60c922 19th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/26b3f577-97d1-4b97-bd6e-f7470dc8c2d0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b1c830dd-8dbe-4443-b101-d0e01882eab7 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8e552f29-b05a-4de3-a40c-f4c2681fe799 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8d4b0f0d-5958-4f73-9f14-6fc2d593bb66 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/eee07816-42e1-4b09-8e7c-d7777dfbb12f ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
