    Brief

    AHDB seeks contractors to conduct independent testing trials for cereal and oilseed varieties to support the Recommended Lists programme. This work involves running comprehensive variety trials that generate performance data on new crop varieties, enabling farmers and industry professionals to make informed decisions about variety selection based on their specific cropping systems and market requirements. The resulting data feeds into AHDB's Recommended Lists and Described Lists, which help optimize productivity and ensure reliable grain supplies throughout the supply chain. This is a time-limited extension of existing services required to maintain continuity of current trials while AHDB completes a strategic review of future programme delivery and procurement arrangements.
