Summary of the contracting process

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) recently concluded an open procurement process for monitoring contaminants in UK cereals used for food and animal feed processing. This significant agricultural services project, classified under CPV code 77100000, is designed to ensure the safety and quality of major UK cereals. The procurement, valued at £1,087,500, was executed using an open procedure, and the tendering phase closed on 14 May 2025. With a contract period starting on 1 August 2025 for two years, the initiative aims to provide an independent survey on contaminants, ensuring legal compliance and safety within the UK and export markets.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for businesses in the agricultural services sector, particularly those focused on food safety and quality assurance. Firms capable of delivering high-quality technical services at competitive prices are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. The project supports the ongoing need for scientific evidence in the agricultural supply chain and could be particularly appealing to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to establish or expand their footprint in the industry. The open procedure and potential extensions further increase the opportunity for sustained business engagement with the AHDB, aiming to uphold food security and safety in the UK.
