P23-0126: Agritourism Monitor Farms Project
Authority: Scottish Enterprise
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThis procurement is for the appointment of a facilitator(s) for 4 agritourism monitor farms, 2 in the Scottish Enterprise geographic area, 1 in the Highlands & Islands Enterprise area and 1 in the South of Scotland Enterprise area. The project will include:
Recruitment of agritourism monitor farms, in person meetings, on-line meetings; expert sessions (key topics identified by both the monitor farmer and the wider community group members); annual reports, a final report and performance tracking of participating businesses.
Key topics will be identified by both the monitor farmer and the wider community group members who will be asked to be part of the project. The monitor farmer sets an agenda to improve the profitability, productivity, and sustainability of the business over the duration of the project. The monitor farm concept allows farmers to share experiences, find out how others have tackled problems and adopt best practice. Facilitation will be required at each meeting, but also in preparation for each meeting, and follow up thereafter.
It is anticipated that the contract will start on 24 July 2023 for a period of 41 months.
After this period, Scottish Enterprise will have the option to extend the contract for a further period of 12 months.
Further details can be found in the Invitation to Tender (ITT).
