## Description
AHDB is made up of four individual sectors and a cross sector for shared responsibilities under the one AHDB central organisation, these. These sectors run separate budgets and accounts. All activities are detailed, recorded and invoiced by purchase orders from each sector. We are a publisher of a wide spectrum of technical, research and marketing resources. The publications and marketing materials are delivered to the warehouse facility either directly from source or via AHDB, entered into inventory and stored. All goods arriving will be clearly labelled with SKU, description of contents, number of boxes and quantity per box. 
These are then available on a call off basis to AHDB levy payers, requests for publications are made to the Bureau team at AHDB and  in some cases directly to the warehouse. The requests from AHDB are then forwarded to the warehouse facility via a portal ordering system for fulfilment and despatch to the requesting end user.  
The warehouse also assembles marketing, promotional and educational kits, to meet AHDB requirements. Mailing data is provided via a secure file transfer site to the warehouse facility from the AHDB Customer Relationship Management (CRM) team for all warehouse mailing activities.
Under the existing contract,  a sole supplier provides all warehousing, mailing and fulfilment services for AHDB under the existing tender agreement. Storage of printed matter, from single sheet flyers, multi-page brochures and any marketing aids and tools are entered into an inventory according to the ordering AHDB sector. 
Estimated start date is 30th April 2023, initial 2 year contract with the option to extend for 2 periods of 12 months each.
