Summary of the contracting process

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB), based in Coventry, UK, has successfully concluded the procurement process for its "Consumer Segmentation" project under the industry category of Market Research Services. This procurement used an open procedure and was intended to underpin AHDB's future strategy and marketing activities across multiple sectors including meat and dairy. The contract, valued at £260,000 for both segments, was awarded to A.C. Nielsen Company Limited (t/a NielsenIQ) on 1 August 2024. The procurement sought a comprehensive consumer segmentation based on purchasing behaviour and attitudes to enable more effective targeting beyond simple demographics. Key stages included the tender period closing on 26 June 2024 and the award announcement soon after.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in market research and consumer analytics. Companies capable of delivering nuanced, behaviour-based segmentation stand to benefit significantly. The project requires the expertise to manage and interpret complex consumer data, making it ideal for businesses already versed in handling large-scale, multi-sectoral marketing research initiatives. For those looking to expand their footprint in the UK’s agricultural and horticultural sectors, collaborating on projects like this can enhance industry influence and open doors to further governmental contracts.
