This procurement opportunity falls under the "Data collection and collation services" category. The tender deadline is on October 11, 2023, with the contract period starting on November 15, 2023, and ending on November 14, 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold. The AHDB is the buying organisation based in Coventry with the main procurement category being services. This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in collecting and uploading farm data. Businesses capable of performing basic checks on data completeness and providing farmers with performance reports are well-suited for this tender. The supplier selected will have the chance to work closely with AHDB in gathering insights into the beef and lamb sector's performance, offering valuable services to support farm businesses in improving their financial and physical datasets. ## Notice AHDB are seeking a supplier to recruit English beef and lamb farms to upload their physical and financial data to their Farmbench tool as part of the annual exercise to gather representative physical and financial national datasets for the sector. This work forms part of the Insight and Evidence strand of the Beef & Lamb sector plan. Critically, assembling a robust and representative national dataset across the main production systems found in England will provide AHDB with insights into the sector's physical and financial performance which are not available anywhere else. Within the budget of up to PS20k per year (Vat inclusive), one supplier is sought to: 1) Recruit new farm businesses to Farmbench. Each business must be in England and have at least one beef or sheep enterprise for the 2022/23 production year. 2) Collect and upload the farmer's data or support the farmer to upload their own data to Farmbench. 3) Perform basic checks to ensure the dataset is complete and representative before submitting it for validation by the AHDB Farmbench team. Following submission, this will require suppliers to review and answer questions and adjust data where necessary as a result. 4) Provide farmers with Farmbench reports highlighting their individual performance against aggregated and anonymised quartile benchmarks (downloaded from Farmbench) and an opportunity for the farmers to discuss the results and understand what they mean.
