## Notice

AHDB are looking to purchase auction market data from the LAA. This data is crucial for producing our market outlooks and analysis pieces which are used by a range of levy payers and industry stakeholders. AHDB used to have access to this information when we processed the data in partnership with the LAA. The LAA have subsequently moved to a new data processor and now it is necessary to purchase this data.
