This procurement process, classified under the IT services industry category, falls under a selective procurement method and is a call-off from a framework agreement. The project, located in the West Midlands, aims to enhance AHDB's digital, data, and technology services to meet the growing demands of its levy payers. The contract period starts on 14th September 2024 and ends on 14th January 2025, with a contract value of £300,000. Key dates include the tender period, which ended on 9th July 2024, and the award date on 14th September 2024. The procurement process is currently at the award stage and has been marked as complete.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, consulting, software development, and support. Companies with capabilities in emerging technologies such as AI and automation, and those experienced in providing comprehensive market intelligence and data services, will find this tender particularly suitable. As AHDB looks to comply with legislation and regulations while using advanced technologies, businesses that can offer innovative, secure, and efficient solutions will be able to significantly contribute to the project, fostering potential growth and establishing a stronger foothold in the public sector. Although the contract is not explicitly geared towards SMEs or VCSEs, larger firms or those with extensive expertise in digital transformation within the agriculture and horticulture sectors are well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity.

## Notice

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) has begun a programme of work to upgrade its Digital, Data and Technology (DDAT) services so that it can continue to meet the expanding requirements of its levy payers. There are three key drivers for this programme - the ever-increasing need for data and market intelligence; the requirement to meet legislation and regulations in making DDAT services accessible, well-managed and secure; the drive to use emerging technologies, including AI and automation, to provide higher value services for levy-payers and the wider agriculture sector, and to do so as efficiently as possible.
