This contract, valued between £180 million for an initial five-year term and up to £303 million including a two-year extension, falls under the veterinary services category (CPV 85200000). The procurement method is an open procedure, targeting the provision of managed services by contract Official Veterinarians and Auxiliaries across various meat establishments and occasionally local authority and dairy premises. Key dates include the contract's end date on 30th March 2025, with submission deadlines and bid openings scheduled for 11th June 2024.

Given the contract’s scope and substantial estimated value per lot, both large enterprises and specialist service providers are well-suited to bid for and secure a share of the business.
