## Summary

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has issued a tender titled "AHDB Dairy Cost of Production Model Co-Build and Co-Review" in the industry category of Data Analysis Services (CPV 72316000). The procurement aims to secure consultancy services to jointly develop and subsequently refine dairy cost of production models over a three-year period. Located in Coventry, England, the contract falls under DEFRA's Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board (AHDB), with a procurement stage currently in tender. Bidders should note the tender period's end date on 6th September 2024, with the contract commencing on 23rd September 2024 and running until 23rd September 2027. The estimated contract value is between £45,000 to £49,000, adhering to a limited procurement method under competitive quotation below the threshold.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for consultancies specialising in data analysis and modelling, particularly those that can collaborate closely with public sector organisations. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-suited to compete, as the project explicitly indicates a preference for SME involvement. The successful consultancy will not only engage in high-value, long-term work but will also gain substantial recognition through the partnership with AHDB. This project is ideal for businesses capable of delivering precise analytical solutions and adapting to ongoing refinements in economic models for the dairy industry.

## Notice

AHDB wish to procure a consultancy to co-build their new dairy cost of production models alongside the AHDB, and once developed, co-review for the remainder of the project duration. This review period is to refine and update variables and assumptions, once the model has been built. The project duration will be for a total of 3 years. These models will be owned by AHDB, though importantly delivered in partnership which will be credited in communications of model results. Please see Specification for further details.
