Notice Title

Provision of standardised vet practice medicine sales data for livestock farms

Notice Description

Request for Information: AHDB wishes to understand the capacity and level of expertise within the market to deliver the capability to capture and standardise veterinary medicine sales data to UK farms. This requirement is needed to import data from veterinary practise management systems to the AHDB's electronic medicine hub (eMH). It will be important that any provider has a proven track record in engaging with vets to collect and standardise medicine use data at farm level across the ruminant livestock sectors. The initial focus for this work is to import data from veterinary practices covering as many dairy, beef and sheep farms as possible, with data from pig farms being a potential future requirement. The service provider must have a proven, robust mechanism for standardising all the veterinary medicine sales data from relevant vet practises to provide a list of products according to a standardised product name and Vm number (also called an MA or Marketing Authorisation number). The system to deliver the capability required must be mature, fully user-tested and proven in practice. For further information, please download the 3 attachments and follow response instructions. Additional information: If you are interested receiving further information, please download all 3 attachments provided: Outline specification of requirements, RFI instructions, RFI response form. Deadline to submit the response form is by 12 noon on the 22 May 2020. Email to: mary.vickers@ahdb.org.uk
