Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) is seeking services for seal checks under the DAC 145/20 tender, which is classified under security services. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following an urgent need arising from the UK's exit from the EU, with a contract value of £257,101. The contract, which was signed on 31 December 2020, will commence on 2 January 2021 for an initial period of 12 months, and has the option to extend for an additional year if required. The delivery of these services is crucial to ensure compliance with sanitary and phytosanitary checks at ports in Northern Ireland.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the security services industry, particularly those experienced in providing operational staff for governmental and regulatory compliance processes. Companies capable of quickly mobilising personnel for urgent staffing needs are particularly well-suited for this contract, given the tight timelines and requirements dictated by the recent regulatory changes post-Brexit. Participating in this tender could facilitate growth for firms looking to expand their portfolios within public procurement and establish a relationship with DAERA.
