Procurement

We are firmly committed to openness, fairness and transparency in selecting all of our suppliers of goods and services. 
We must do this as a matter of law under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and this approach will also enable us to develop a ‘most economically advantageous’ supply system and maximise our use of levy funds.

    Active invitations to tender for goods and services

    Suppliers are encouraged to register on Contracts Finder where we may publish contract opportunities over £25,000. This is where suppliers can search for contract information on goods and services across the public sector.

    Contract opportunities  that exceed EU financial thresholds (currently set at £181,302) may also be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).

    Where possible AHDB will buy common goods and services through “agreements” put in place by Crown Commercial Services (CCS) – this is the government's commercial team. You can search tender opportunities to find out how to become a public sector supplier

    Our standard goods and services contract can be downloaded below. The contract template may be updated at any time by publication on this website, it is the suppliers' responsibility to keep themselves aware of any changes. 

    Previous versions can be obtained on request to the Legal Adviser at legal@ahdb.org.uk
