DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS
Short-term Business Development Consultant at Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research
This sits below the typical range for Research & Development contracts — a smaller, more accessible award. Based on 20,405 valued Research & Development tenders in our corpus.
Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research (SBCSR) is the leading post-harvest applied research facility for agricultural storage in the UK.
We are seeking a consultant to take on a fixed-term, part-time role to develop and implement a business development plan for SBSCR.
The SBCSR facility is owned by AHDB (www.ahdb.org.uk) and operated by its Technical Directorate under the 'AHDB Potatoes' banner.
It is the primary centre providing potato storage research and advice to the GB industry.
SBCSR has extensive facilities for work on potato and is also engaged in other forms of crop storage R&D, including field vegetables and controlled atmosphere storage.
In addition to work funded by the AHDB Potatoes industry levy, it offers a confidential contract research capability with accreditation to ISO 9001.
It is also ORETO registered with the UK Chemicals Regulation Division of HSE.
The team at SBCSR has an extensive and globally-recognised level of expertise on storage and crop quality issues.
It seeks to provide high quality, cost-effective and relevant research of benefit to the potato and associated crop storage industries.
There has recently been significant investment in the SBCSR facility by both AHDB and via the Crop Health and Protection Innovation Centre (http://chap-solutions.co.uk/).
Partly as a result of this, we now have a need to uprate significantly the business development capability at SBCSR to ensure that the delivery opportunity provided by the new facilities is fully realised.
