## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs is seeking quotations for the "AHDB Fertility Improvement Programme," aimed at updating the existing AHDB PD+ publication. This procurement falls within the agricultural services sector, and the tender process is currently in the award stage. Key dates include a tender period that ended on 4th May 2018 and a contract period running from 14th May 2018 to 14th September 2018. The procurement method is categorised as an open procedure, intended for below-threshold contracts, with a final award announcement published on 18th October 2018.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specializing in agricultural services, particularly those focused on dairy farming and fertility management.

## Notice

AHDB wishes to invite quotations for the delivery of updating the current AHDB PD+ publication.

They are designed to help farmers improve herd performance and profitability with the best fertility management. The resource is designed to provide farmers with technical information along with practical examples on how to implement methods to improve fertility and animal health in their own herd.
