Meat (Lot One) and Dairy (Lot Two) Consumer Data requirements

Tender description

AHDB, QMS and HCC (the Contracting Authority) share the requirements of retail purchase data, specifically within the Meat sector (Lot One). AHDB requires additional retail purchase data within the Dairy Sector (Lot Two). AHDB are procuring this service contract on behalf of AHDB, QMS and HCC. AHDB current contract is due to expire in April 2023. QMS current contract and HCC lamb current contract are due to expire in October 2023. It is expected that the contract will start from April 2023 with HCC and QMS mobilising in November 2023. The three parties procuring Meat retail purchase data collectively is expected to provide financial and administrative benefits for all parties. The specification is split by data requirements and client support/insight requirements, and then by core (all three parties require) and optional (parties may consider based on budget). In the proposal we require clear cost separation for both core and optional elements (we envisage some desirable will naturally fall into existing databases at no extra cost so please make clear in the proposal). This gives the three parties a number of options for consideration to allow the build of a package which works for all. Note that this specification is split into two lots and therefore suppliers may bid for one or both. Separate contracts will be awarded for each Lot, not necessarily to the same supplier.
