When do Agri-Food and BioSciences Institute contracts come up for renewal?

How much does Agri-Food and BioSciences Institute spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £475k, across the 27 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 9 November 2025 to 8 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards fell in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the year before it, oldest first: 13 and 10. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- 1 contract ends in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 8 November 2026 and 8 May 2027, each contract counted once.
- Took on 11 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 9 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 14 Aug 2026 (3 months ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
