Summary of the contracting process

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, a central government entity based in Coventry, has completed a direct award procurement process to extend its existing CRM email automation tool contract. The contract, focused on IT services in the agricultural sector, was awarded to Click Dimensions, a small to medium-sized enterprise, for a period from 20th January 2026 to 19th January 2027. This extension was necessitated by the need to maintain continuity in critical business operations and customer engagement while awaiting internal staffing adjustments. The procurement method employed was below the threshold and proceeded without competition due to time constraints and operational risks associated with switching suppliers.

This procurement presents ongoing opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in CRM solutions. Companies capable of providing robust customer relationship management services that enhance business functions and engagement in the agricultural sector are well-positioned to benefit. Additionally, given the nature of the procurement process favouring continuity and reliability, businesses with established contracts and the capability to respond to direct awards swiftly may find this sector accommodating for growth and expansion.
