Defra Farmer and Vet Data Research Partner

DEFRA is looking for a research partner for a project to explore the extent and type of data collected about on farm activities by a range of vets and also a number of farmers. The research should cover data collection by farmers and by vets practicing on farms dealing with six in-scope species (see below). This brief is for the purpose of enabling an initial discussion with potential contractors for this work to discuss the work further prior to the issue of formal ITT through the usual bidding processes. The whole process will be governed by our standard processes for dealing with contractors so that the process is open and fair to all possible contractors who may wish to bid. Full details of the process, requirements, timings etc will be included in the formal ITT when issued. The project will focus on the following 2 areas: • PART 1: FARMER DATA RESEARCH • PART 2: VET DATA RESEARCH
