Description

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.

Total Quantity or Scope

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.
