## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) seeking health and safety consultancy services, specifically focused on training and support requirements for the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB). The contract, titled "AHDB Health & Safety training and support requirements," was published on 15 January 2019 and concluded the tender period on 1 February 2019. The contract runs from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2021, with a total value of £52,400. The procurement method employed was a limited approach with competitive quotations below the threshold, requiring providers to have qualifications in health and safety training as specified.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in health and safety consultancy, particularly those with experience in agricultural environments such as farms and abattoirs.

The nature of the work involves supporting AHDB staff through various training courses and requires travel primarily within the UK and occasionally to Europe, enhancing the scope for business expansion in these sectors.
