## Summary

The contract titled "Vote Election Management" has been awarded by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) for the administration and reporting of sector council member ratification votes. The procurement falls under the "Miscellaneous articles" industry category and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The open procedure was utilised for this tender. Key dates include the award date of 29th July 2024, the contract start date of 2nd September 2024, and an end date set for 30th November 2028. The contract, valued at £50,000, will oversee votes across sectors such as Beef & Lamb, Pork, Dairy, and Cereal & Oilseeds, with voting expected to occur in Autumn 2024, 2026, and 2027.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in election management services, offering them a chance to engage with multiple agricultural sectors. The project demands a robust voting platform capable of handling simultaneous vote streams and presenting candidate information. Businesses experienced in providing IT solutions for voting, particularly those familiar with sector-specific elections, would be well-suited for this opportunity. Given the contract's substantial duration and estimated value, it offers a stable and potentially lucrative engagement for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in public-sector procurement.

## Notice

A ratification voting service to administer and report a vote to ratify from 4 up to 20 new/2nd term sector council member appointments. There will be between 1 and 5 to be ratified in each sector - Beef & Lamb; Pork; Dairy; Cereal & Oilseeds. There will need to be four separate sector vote streams, run simultaneously across four separate sector Councils. We estimate that up to a third of voters will be eligible to vote across more than one sector. The voting platform(s) will need to be able to host a photo and short biography of each candidate along with some general contextual text about the Sector Council, who's being replaced, and the skill sets being sought. Of those registered to vote (currently c.10,000), 12% did so when this was run as a stand-alone process in 2023. These simple sector council member ratification votes will be run in Autumn 2024, 2026 and 2027.
