The procurement contact named on the official notice.

AHDB (Defra Network eTendering Portal) publishes Agriculture, Forestry & Horticulture work continuously — 6 notices, roughly one every 85 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

AHDB is undertaking environmental baselining work on a network of farms comprising approximately 170 farms across GB where it aims to establish a net carbon balance, taking account of GHG emissions and carbon sequestration (above and below ground) and capture a range of metrics of relevance to evaluating natural capital and monitoring the environmental impact of different land management approaches. <br/>For this tender, AHDB are seeking a partner to provide soil sampling and analysis services to inform the assessment of:<br/>a) soil carbon stocks <br/>b) soil nutrients, texture and biological indicators<br/>on approximately 170 farms across Great Britain.

The distribution of these farms is provisionally as follows; England 125, Wales 10, and Scotland 35.

Soil nutrients are included, not only to inform nutrient status in terms of soil health and relate to carbon stocks but also to inform the risk of runoff when combined with LIDAR generated run-off risk maps.

Free to start. Named contacts come from published notices; the strategy is generated from the buyer’s news, accounts and people.

Five included while we’re in beta, and the agent asks before it spends on any paid step.
