## Summary

The Angus Council, a regional or local authority based in Forfar, UK, has completed a tender process for the procurement of services related to the "AC/24/001/VCS CASI Demand Analysis Extension" project. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The extension was awarded to Urban Foresight, a large-scale supplier based in Dundee, UK, to conduct additional research into demand analysis for potato sector testing. The procurement aims to gather data and evidence to inform the creation of project Outline Business Cases.

This tender opportunity offers businesses in the services sector a chance to contribute to economic productivity and growth initiatives. Companies with expertise in demand research for agricultural sectors, particularly in the potato industry, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the stakeholder engagement and relationships already established by the awarded supplier, Urban Foresight, businesses with prior experience and knowledge in similar projects are likely to have a competitive advantage in bidding for future extensions or related projects within the Angus Council's procurement portfolio.

## Notice

Extension demand analysis required to establish need for PCN/virus and soil testing for the potato sector which links with two current CASI projects. This is required to develop a more detailed report into the need which is required to develop final reports and inform OBC/FBC.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Demand research into need for PCN/virus and soil testing in the potato sector. A need for this research has been identified as a result of the current demand research into a Crop Quality Centre and services delivered at JHI. Further demand research is required to allow stakeholder engagement and to present the findings in a report that will inform the development of an OBC.

### Procurement Information

The Consultants won a contract through competitive tender in February 2024 to carry out demand research into four CASI projects. Through stakeholder engagement, there was clear demand for an additional service to support economic productivity and growth, therefore additional research is required to gather data and evidence to inform the creation of project Outline Business Cases. As the Consultants have build up relationships and knowledge with stakeholders, it is advantageous to award the extension to the contract to complete this piece of research.
