Hort Innovation
Closes Tuesday 10 November 2026, 3:00pm Melbourne time (AEDT)
Hort Innovation (the grower-owned horticulture R&D corporation) wants a delivery partner for project HA26007: a Strategic Review of Biosecurity R&D for Australian Horticulture covering system, impact and future investment.
The work should deliver more than a review of existing projects. It should produce a nationally recognised State of Industry Biosecurity Report and an investment decision framework that answers which biosecurity challenges matter most, what their economic significance is, how effective past Hort Innovation biosecurity investments have been, what capability Australia must retain, and where Hort Innovation should invest next to maximise impact for growers and the horticulture sector.
Hort Innovation has issued an RFP with background, scope, process and response requirements. The RFP is downloaded from tenders.net (membership required). Responses close at 3:00 pm AEDT on Tuesday 10 November 2026. No contract value is stated on the public Hort Innovation page used for this notice.
