This contract, valued at £28,638.75, falls within the agricultural services industry and is located in Wales. The procurement was initiated using an open procedure method and the contract period runs from 21st January 2019 to 30th June 2023. Although the tender period ended on 4th January 2019, the programme aims to enhance the profitability and sustainability of the Welsh dairy sector through independent evaluations and strategic implementation. This opportunity may foster significant business growth for firms specialising in agricultural services, particularly those with expertise in programme evaluations and knowledge exchange within the agricultural sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, as the tender specifications suggest a suitability for such businesses. Companies capable of providing analytical assessments and interim evaluations will find this contract aligns with their offerings, allowing them to contribute effectively to the Dairy Improvement Programme. ## Notice AHDB has been successful in securing grant funding to undertake a five-year Dairy Improvement Programme (DIP) which will trial the implementation of new engagement strategies to increase the profitability and resilience of the Welsh dairy sector. The DIP is made possible through the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the Welsh Government and the European Union. The Programme will trial the implementation of new engagement strategies to increase the profitability, resilience and long-term sustainability of the Welsh dairy sector, together with exploring new approaches to Knowledge Exchange. AHDB requires tenderers who can provide an independent evaluation of the DIP. The evaluation needs to include: * a review of targets and plans at the commencement of the programme * regular liaison with AHDB during the life time of the programme to monitor progress * an interim mid-term evaluation of the programme * a final evaluation at the end of the programme.
