## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs is currently engaged in a public procurement process for the "Grow Your Own Potatoes" initiative, aimed at supplying up to 15,000 educational kits to primary schools across England, Scotland, and Wales. This tender (ID: 2017-249) is classified under services and specifically focusing on potatoes and storage services. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a deadline for submissions set for 17 July 2017. The contract period will commence on 1 October 2017 and is expected to extend until 30 September 2020, with an approximate total value of £120,000, and a minimum requirement set at £30,000.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the logistics and distribution sectors, particularly those with experience in handling agricultural products and educational materials. Companies specialising in supply chain management, warehousing, and delivery services would be well-suited to compete, especially if they possess the necessary Safe Haven accreditation for operating with regulated seed containers. The potential for a contract extension over an additional two years further enhances the business growth prospects for successful bidders in this public procurement initiative.

## Notice

AHDB wishes to procure the fulfilment and dissemination of their "Grow Your Own Potatoes" (GYOP) kits. Up to 15 thousand kits are to be supplied to primary schools in England, Scotland and Wales in 2018, with the number of kits dependent on school registrations. The successful tenderer will handle distribution of the GYOP kits for GYOP 2018 with a possible extension for a further two years to GYOP 2020, will need to be Safe Haven accredited and will be licenced to open 1 tonne sealed seed containers supplied by the potato industry
