Some physical information is also collected, primarily to classify farms by type and tenure. Stringent methodology is applied to the audit of farm accounts in order to produce internationally comparable farm management accounting information. Its primary purpose is to provide a body of physical and financial data designed to give insight into the economic condition of agriculture throughout Scotland. The FBS provides important data under the Agriculture (Retained EU Law and Data) (Scotland) Act 2020 Part 2. The contract will run from 1 February 2023 for 24 months with an option to extend for a period of up to 36 months arranged on an annual basis. Due to final year activity, the final year of the contract will be slightly longer and will end on 31 March 2025/26/27/28 depending on any extension period taken up. Renewal: There are 3 optional extension periods available up to 36 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020529-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 30 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | 25 Jul 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Summer 2024/25/26 or 27 depending on extensions used. | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 77100000 - Agricultural services - 79211000 - Accounting services - 79212100 - Financial auditing services - 79311000 - Survey services - 79311300 - Survey analysis services ## Release History - 27 Jul 2022 at 15:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020529-2022 - 30 Jun 2022 at 10:16 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017860-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/hse40.pdf - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363 - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000701372 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA10482 - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ - https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/the-courts/court-locations/edinburgh-sheriff-court-and-justice-of-the-peace-court ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
