## Summary

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, located in Coventry, UK, successfully concluded a procurement process for "(Workspace) platform licences," acquiring these services from Refinitiv Limited. The procurement targeted the services industry with a focus on data-related products and agricultural market intelligence. The procurement method was direct and below threshold, implying the provision of the services without competitive tendering. The award was finalised with Refinitiv Limited on 31st December 2025, and the contract is active from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026, at a gross value of £43,000. These licences are pivotal for producing commodity market reports and insights for levy payers, leveraging existing tools for data pricing, graphing, and real-time newsfeed.

Organisations that can offer alternative platforms—albeit needing to match the comprehensive resource access currently provided—may see opportunities in future procurements while addressing cost efficiencies and staff productivity. SMEs may find suitability in engaging with similar projects as the procurement process occasionally favours light-touch regimes, enhancing their chances of competitive participation in similar sectors within the United Kingdom. Businesses offering commodities that enhance agricultural data processing and analytics will see prospects in liaising with public authorities like the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board.
