Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Police Service has completed a procurement process for the "Provision of Police Dog Veterinary and Animal Welfare Services," classified under the health and social work services category. This tender includes two lots: Lot 1 focuses on general veterinary services offered on Metropolitan Police Service premises, while Lot 2 addresses more complex veterinary needs, requiring emergency care 24/7 at nearby facilities across London. The awarded contract has a total value of £1,436,610 and is valid from 17 August 2020 to 16 August 2022, with potential extensions. The procurement method used for this tender was open, with the procedure concluding on 31 March 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in veterinary services, particularly those that can provide both standard and emergency care for police dogs. Companies with the capability to deliver veterinary services within a geographically favorable location in London, as well as those with experience in animal welfare, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The involvement of independent suppliers such as Independent Vetcare Ltd and Goddard Veterinary Group indicates a trend towards collaborative approaches, which could inspire smaller businesses to partner for future tenders in this sector.
