AHDB Livestock Export Programme - Impact Evaluation
Authority: AHDB
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAHDB 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).

- Why no open competition
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
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.
Publisher note: AHDB used framework RM6126 and sent the opportunity to shortlisted suppliers, no submissions were received.
