What is being bought

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).

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Evaluation consultancy services (79419000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement strategy & market signals

Framework agreementNot published
Dynamic purchasing systemNot published
Competitive procurementNot published
Recurring requirementNot published
Procurement method rationaleYou 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.
