Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has awarded a contract for market research services to Expansial for AHDB's office in France. The contract, valued at £450,000 GBP, was awarded through a single tender action over FTS. The procurement process was completed with the contract period starting on 1st April 2023 and ending on 31st March 2024. The tender closed on 31st January 2023.

This award presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the marketing research sector. Businesses with expertise in market research, particularly those with specialized knowledge of the red meat industry in France, are well-suited to compete for similar tenders in the future. AHDB's requirement for a specialist agency with regional knowledge highlights the potential for niche service providers to secure contracts in this market.
