Summary of the contracting process

The Defra Network eTendering Portal has announced a completed tender for the "Development and testing of Operational Models of Bovine Tuberculosis in British Cattle and Badgers - Phases III and IV," with a total contract value of £620,500. This initiative falls within the market-testing services industry and is designed to enhance understanding and control of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in the UK. The contract period commenced on 1st September 2016 and will run until 31st December 2017. The tender was initially set to end on 1st August 2016, following a planned procurement process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in epidemiology, modelling, and veterinary sciences. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this tender particularly relevant, as innovative approaches and robust methodologies in disease modelling are likely to be key requirements. Businesses equipped to address the challenges of bTB management and those that have the capabilities to collaborate with academic institutions, such as the University Court of the University of Glasgow, would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future.

Notice Title

Development and testing of Operational Models of Bovine Tuberculosis in British Cattle and Badgers - Phases III and IV

Notice Description

The aim of this TB Modelling Initiative (TBMI) is to bring together the foremost experts on TB modelling within the UK to produce an operational modelling framework of bTB transmission and control. This project uses the best available bTB epidemiology evidence (collected from statutory surveillance testing), emphasizing robustness over complexity, to develop a long term, viable, TB modelling framework. Phases I & II are complete with development of a GB-wide TB cattle model, which has been used to assess cattle vaccination scenarios to inform possible vaccine deployment options. Phase III Objectives: 1. Compare TBMI to other TB models (EBP & BoTMEW) 2. Improve model robustness 3. Include pre- and post- movement testing 4. Implement a simple badger model 5. Prepare documentation for model transfer into APHA Phase IV objectives (subject to review March 3017): 1. Complete model comparisons 2. Develop predictive cattle movement models to model large scale changes in movement, e.g. to restrict movement of cattle away from vaccinated areas, preventing them from moving into unvaccinated areas. 3. Ensure model robustness considering updates to the model since phase II. 4. Prepare documentation for model transfer into APHA Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions.
