This project is located in Glasgow, UK, and aims to run from 1 February 2023 to 31 January 2025, with an option for a further 36-month extension. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice anticipated to be issued on 26 July 2022. The identified procurement method is a tender, and it will be awarded to a single supplier. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in agricultural surveys, data collection, and analysis related to farm management. Companies that provide expertise in conducting detailed audits, collecting agricultural data, and delivering insights into economic conditions in the agricultural sector would be particularly well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this procurement could enhance their portfolios and establish long-term relationships with a key government authority. ## Notice The Scottish Government has a requirement for the provision of Farm Business Survey from 1 February 2023 to 31 January 2025 with the option to extend for a period of up to 36 months arranged on an annual basis. Note that in the final year of the contract only, the end date will be 31 March 2025/2026/2027 or 2028 dependent on the extension options taken up due to required final year activity. This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to alert the marketplace of our intention to advertise the forthcoming tender opportunity. The requirement will be awarded to a single supplier. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Farm Business Survey (FBS) is an annual survey of around 400 farm businesses in Scotland and collects data directly from them through farm visits and detailed examination of each business's books, paperwork or online accounts. 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.. This PIN is for information gathering purposes only and is not a call for competition. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN452712 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jun 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Jul 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | 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 | Not specified | ## 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 - 30 Jun 2022 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN452712 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN452712 Farm Business Survey - PIN - The Scottish Government has a requirement for the provision of Farm Business Survey from 1 February 2023 to 31 January 2025 with the option to extend for a period of up to 36 months arranged on an annual basis.
