Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is in the planning stage for the procurement of biosecurity support services at large aquatic sporting events, classified under "Environmental monitoring other than for construction". The procurement process is focused on service delivery within the East Midlands, specifically in the NG12 2LU postal code area. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage by 19th March 2025, with expressions of interest to be submitted by midday. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and APHA wishes to gauge market interest for multiple events, two of which require separate groups due to scheduling conflicts.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specializing in biosecurity services to expand their portfolio and gain visibility in government contracts. Ideal candidates include SME contractors with relevant experience and skills in environmental monitoring. APHA seeks contractors capable of delivering services across multiple events, highlighting the potential for sustained engagement. Businesses looking to compete should demonstrate their ability to cover the specified events and provide detailed contact information, ensuring clear communication with the contracting authority.
