Due to unforeseen circumstances, additional work was required for this contract which went over the 50% allowance of the initial contract value. Therefore AHDB had to put in place a STA to cover this works. and will be going back out to market to remain compliant, fair and transparent to the marketplace. Timing was of the essence and therefore we could not go out to market in time for the additional requirements to start without using the route of an STA. Original notice 2022/S 000-029265

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 60
  • Price: 40
What this means for your bid

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
