## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs commissioned services to analyse data from its Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Planning Tool. The work supports the Pesticides National Action Plan, particularly increasing awareness and knowledge of IPM strategies through decision-support and planning tools, practical guidance, and access to research and development evidence. The requirement includes maintaining the IPM Tool and using its data to support wider uptake of integrated pest management. It is a research, development and related consultancy service, classified under CPV 73000000. The contracting authority is Defra, a central government department, and the work is associated with the department’s national policy and programme activity in England and the wider UK.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a non-competitive, below-threshold award under a framework. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and awarded to RSK ADAS Limited. The award is active and the contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 19 March 2027. The contract value is £34,730 excluding VAT, or £41,676 including VAT. There was one completed lot. The route was a selective procurement, described as a Defra self-service direct award and a below-threshold framework award. The evaluation was not competitive, and the published outcome identifies RSK ADAS Limited as the selected supplier for the full requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Defra for specialist analysis and consultancy focused on integrated pest management, agricultural decision-support tools and the use of tool data to inform policy delivery. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible capability in analysing datasets generated by planning or advisory tools, understanding IPM strategies and translating research evidence into practical guidance. Experience maintaining or improving digital decision-support resources would be relevant, alongside the ability to support national environmental or pesticides programmes. The route also shows that relevant suppliers may need to qualify for, or already hold a place on, an appropriate public sector framework and deliver a focused, below-threshold assignment for a central government customer.
