Description

Officials seek clarity on the COVID-19 situation across the Defra portfolio, and seek to put in place effective ways to track, synthesise and present data and insights on an ongoing basis to enable cells to make the necessary interventions and raise issues further to senior government officials.

Defra requires external support to stand up the Data cell, rapidly identify the types of analyses required within the other cells, and develop the required reports and analyses. This will allow each cell to generate a clear picture of the COVID-19 situation and the required government response.
