## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has recently completed a procurement process for "Defra Group Baseline Agricultural Training" under the industry category "Specialist training services" (CPV code 80510000). The procurement method used was an open procedure. The contract, valued at GBP 650,000, was awarded on 14th January 2025 to the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, located in Fordingbridge, Hampshire. The training programme is aimed at enhancing awareness in various agricultural areas, including introduction to agriculture, soil, crops, water, livestock, commercial aspects, and practical elements.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the specialist training services sector, particularly those experienced in agricultural education and training. Companies involved in providing comprehensive training solutions, including both theoretical and practical agricultural knowledge, would be well-suited for similar opportunities in the future. Moreover, as the procurement required a subcontracting commitment of at least 24%, there are also potential collaboration opportunities for smaller firms or specialist providers to partner with primary contractors. Such tenders can contribute to business growth through the expansion of service offerings and by establishing connections with governmental bodies like Defra.
