Notice Title
26364 Veterinary and Paraprofessional Training, Assurance and Authorisation Services
Notice Description
Official Veterinarians (OV) is the term used to describe private practice veterinarians who perform work on behalf of the UK Government. In England, Scotland and Wales OVs are authorised by APHA to perform statutory veterinary work. The training and qualification requirements and appointment process for a private vet carrying out tasks on behalf of the government are set out in legislation. The objective of the procurement was to award a new concession contract and appoint a single supplier to supply a complete system of training, revalidation and centralised records for veterinarians, technicians and paraprofessionals delivering Government-related veterinary, veterinary-related or other public health functions. The new concession contract will also implement the recommendations from the 2018 OCQ (V) Review and other improvements identified in response to internal feedback/lessons learned. The appointed supplier will be required to deliver a secure, on-line, distance learning system of training and assessment, including initial qualification and subsequent revalidation, for a suite of OCQ (V) and OCQ (AHP) courses. The supplier will provide a comprehensive assurance and accreditation process for all training, assessment and revalidation. The supplier will be responsible for delivering practical assessments where required
