Description

We require a range of valuers to work on behalf of Government to value livestock, crops, agricultural plant, equipment and other similar assets. Valuations are required to enable Government to pay compensation to owners of animals, crops, equipment etc. when we order the destruction of their property. For example, we will order the culling of animals with diseases such as TB, avian influenza and foot and mouth.

Our current agreements for the provision of agricultural valuation services come to an end in spring 2025.

Ahead of putting new agreements in place, we want to test our draft specification (the document which sets out how agricultural valuations are done) with valuers, experts and interested parties. This represents your opportunity to help shape the future of agricultural valuation services.

Attached to this notice you will find: 1. A draft specification and 2. Engagement letter, with a questionnaire for you to provide feedback in.

Should you wish to help shape the future of agricultural valuation services, please return a completed questionnaire with any other comments, questions or observations to tom.redfearn@defra.gov.uk

NOTE ON THE £8 MILLION VALUE: The length and structure of the framework is yet to be agreed. We are assuming spend of £1 million per year, but actual spend is led by the prevalence of disease.
