Notice Title

PIN: Veterinary Experts panel

Notice Description

Prior Information notice: We are conducting early market engagement through a Prior Information Notice, on a contingency basis, to ensure that external expertise is available to support the Inquiry Group with its investigation should the CMA Board decide to make a reference and should we therefore launch a market investigation. In those circumstances, we would be seeking to establish a panel of Veterinary Experts who can be called upon to provide advice. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) may require up to 3 external advisers 'referred to as 'Veterinary Experts' to provide advice to the CMA Inquiry Group conducting a market investigation into Veterinary Services for household pets in the UK. The experts would provide specialist input on veterinary matters, which would be a priority for ensuring that the Group understands the industry and in order to bolster the robustness of any analysis undertaken. The role of the Veterinary Experts would be to provide the Group with insight and analysis on matters relating to practicing as a veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse.
