The Data Revolution: Data Sharing Principles

AHDB is looking to procure a consultant to primarily help scope and develop a practical set of principles to facilitate and promote data sharing within the agricultural industry.

A kick off meeting will be required at the start of the project with ongoing feedback meetings scheduled throughout the duration of the scoping work.

A formal review of progress along with the next steps should be presented to the Leadership Team in week eight of the project.

The work should cover, at a minimum, the following areas:

- The vision for the project along with the specific objectives and deliverables and measurements of success

- The skills and resources required within an internal project team and identification of any external expertise

- The partner organisations who could help drive this initiative forward and ongoing engagement plans with these organisations

- A review of best practices and similar initiatives in other countries and/or industries

- The initial development of a set of practical principles

The work should also include a review of the potential legal challenges including, but not limited to, data ownership, data uses, intellectual property rights and GDPR. A comprehensive action plan to resolve each challenge is also required as part of this project.

- Feedback on the set of principles from a range of stakeholders and measures of how successful the principles are in reaching the objectives.
