Summary of the contracting process

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) has awarded contracts for the provision of cereals and oilseeds crop harvest, planting, and crop development reporting under the title "2023-660 Cereals & Oilseeds crop intentions, condition and progress reporting." The procurement falls under the industry category of Market Research Services and involves service provision across the UK. The procurement process employed an open method, with the tender period ending on 24 April 2024. Contracts were signed on 11 July 2024 and are currently active. The procurement, segmented into three lots covering different aspects of crop reporting, is designed to deliver critical data and insights to growers and industry stakeholders.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in agricultural services, specifically in data intelligence and reporting for cereal and oilseed crops. It is particularly suited for companies capable of innovating beyond traditional agronomy networks, providing comprehensive reports that cover harvest progression, planting intentions, and crop conditions. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in agronomy, agricultural analysis, and data provision can leverage this tender to grow their services and enhance their profiles within the UK agricultural sector. The successful suppliers, The Andersons Centre and RSK ADAS Limited, exemplify the potential for SMEs to secure substantial government contracts in this domain.

Notice Information

Notice Title

2023-660 Cereals & Oilseeds crop intentions, condition and progress reporting

Notice Description

Provision of cereals and oilseeds crop harvest, planting, and crop development reporting across the season.

Lot Information

Lot 1

AHDB is looking to procure a supplier(s) to provide cereals and oilseeds crop harvest, planting, and crop development reporting across the season. The information needs to inform growers, grain traders, processors, industry stakeholders and other interested parties about planting progress/intentions, condition, development, and harvest progress at set points in time during the season.

AHDB requires suppliers to source data and intelligence from a range of different sources. Our current methodology for crop reporting is based on a network of independent agronomists but we are open to suggestions for alternative provision.

We have split the requirement across three lots and will award either multiple suppliers or a single supplier depending on the evaluation outcome of tenders received. Each of these Lots have associated milestones and KPI's.
* Lot 1 - Harvest progression reporting
* Lot 2 - Planting intentions and progress
* Lot 3 - Crop development and condition (winter and spring)

Renewal: Potential to extend for a further three x 12-month periods
