## Summary

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is seeking services for nutrient sampling and analysis, focusing particularly on red meat. The project, which involves nutritional analysis of key cuts of pork, is funded in collaboration with Public Health England (PHE) and must be completed by the end of March 2019. The tender was published on 30 November 2018, with submissions accepted until 14 December 2018. The procurement process is classified as limited and operates under a competitive quotation model, with contracts to commence from 21 December 2018, lasting initially for two years, with a possible extension of up to one year.

This contracting opportunity represents significant potential for businesses specialising in food analysis services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who can deliver high-quality nutrient testing. Given the urgent deadline for project completion, providers who can demonstrate reliability and swift turnaround times would be well-positioned to tender. Businesses with established expertise in nutritional analysis of meat products, or those equipped with innovative testing methodologies, will find this an excellent chance to engage with a key public body and potentially secure further work in food product analysis.
