## Summary

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) is the contracting authority for the "AHDB Livestock Export Programme - Impact Evaluation," a service-related procurement project identified as 2024-734. The contract aims to evaluate the impacts and economic benefits of AHDB's export initiatives from 2019 to 2024. Although initially using framework RM6126 for a limited procurement process without a call for competition notice, the procurement stage is now in Award, with the contract signed on 3rd June 2025, valued at GBP 45,000. The evaluation consultancy services fall under the CPV classification 79419000 and are targeted within the UK region. Despite no initial submissions from shortlisted suppliers, Brookdale Consulting has been awarded this contract, active from 11th June 2025.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in evaluation consultancy services, particularly those capable of process evaluation and quantifying the economic impacts of agricultural export programmes. Companies familiar with frameworks like RM6126 have a strategic advantage in participating in similar procurement processes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the consultancy sector, such as Brookdale Consulting, illustrate the potential success in leveraging niche expertise to secure such contracts, fostering growth and expanding their service portfolio within public sector projects.

## Notice

AHDB tried using framework RM6126 for this requirement, but received no submissions from the shortlisted supplier. Shortlisted suppliers against RM6126 were invited for this mini competition. We were seeking a supplier to carry out an impact evaluation of the AHDB Exports 2019 to 2024 programme. This should include process evaluation but also, crucially, quantify the levy payer benefits (outcomes and impacts) that can be directly attributed to AHDB, including any economic benefits (Return on Investment).

### Lot Information

Shortlisted suppliers against RM6126 have been invited for this mini competition. We are seeking a supplier to carry out an impact evaluation of the AHDB Exports 2019 to 2024 programme.

### Procurement Information

You do not need to publish the contract opportunity on Find a Tender (FTS) or on Contracts Finder if you use a framework agreement. Our initial opportunity was against RM6126 and therefore no notice was published as this is not a requirement as only going to suppliers on that framework or those shortlisted if using a DPS which this was.
