Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focuses on veterinary delivery partnership services, specifically for livestock testing in England and Wales. The procurement is classified under the veterinary services category (CPV code 85200000). It involves multiple lots covering regions such as North Wales, South Wales, Devon & Cornwall, Western England, South & Eastern England, and Northern England. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the related contracts were signed on 19 February 2021, with a total estimated value exceeding £150 million.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the veterinary services sector, particularly those specialising in tuberculosis testing and related veterinary services. Companies that provide a fully managed service and have the capability to support national emergency responses to animal disease outbreaks would be well-suited to compete. Moreover, the involvement of subcontracting arrangements allows smaller enterprises and local veterinary practices to participate in delivering these essential services, fostering collaboration and regional engagement within the industry.
