Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Specified Pathogen Free Eggs

Notice Description

The Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (APHA) have appointed the Contractor to supply Specified Pathogen Free (SPF) chicken (Gallus gallus) eggs for laboratory diagnostic and research purposes. APHA's range of responsibilities includes statutory work for the UK government for disease control through surveillance activities, research and consultancy. A number of these animal related research and surveillance activities, such as vaccine development and identification of types of disease, require SPF chicken eggs to provide tissues, embryos and live birds. It's important that these Eggs are free of specified pathogens or extraneous agents, as they could cause infection or contaminate the work. In addition there is a legal requirement that Eggs used in the production and quality controls of vaccines are free from specified pathogens. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions. To access appropriate tendering and contractual documents, please access the E-Tendering portal at https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk", ensuring that your registration includes "Defra".
