AHDB, in short
Who does AHDB award contracts to?
Across 71 contracts recorded since 2021, AHDB has used 116 different suppliers. The most frequent are SAC Commercial Limited (6 contracts), Harper Adams University College (5 contracts), PROMAR INTERNATIONAL Ltd (5 contracts).
What does AHDB buy?
Its most active procurement categories are architecture and engineering, business and professional services, IT services. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do AHDB contracts come up for renewal?
10 contracts awarded by AHDB have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 30 Nov 2026. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does AHDB spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £300k, across the 68 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 can I be alerted to new AHDB tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new AHDB notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

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.
- 2 contracts end in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 8 November 2026 and 8 May 2027, each contract counted once.
- Took on 4 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 1 Dec 2025 (11 months ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 68 of 71 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
