The brief

The AHDB Recommended Lists for cereals and oilseeds are the definitive industry guide to cereal and oilseed varieties, giving levy-payers the information they need to select the correct variety for their businesses.

The data on which the Recommended Lists are produced are based on the evaluation of field performance and quality characteristics of a range of varieties of crops under cultivation in the UK.

Variety trials and tests are conducted at numerous locations (trial sites) throughout the UK.

Samples are taken at harvest from these trial plots by the trials contractors and sent to the relevant quality testing laboratory to carry out various laboratory quality tests and assessments on them.

It is this part of the process for which the tenderers are applying to manage receipt of samples, carry out quality test procedures as described in this ITT and produce results for AHDB.

The laboratory quality tests have been divided into four lots for this tender according to crop and types of tests.

Tenderers are invited to apply for single or multiple lots.

Wheat Milling & Baking; Quality tests Cereals (Excluding Oats) & Oil content Oilseed Rape; Quality testing Oats; Barley Micro Malting
