Summary of the contracting process

Uttlesford District Council has completed the procurement process for providing Veterinary Services at Stansted Airport, located in Saffron Walden, CM24 1QW. The tender, titled "Veterinary Services for Stansted Airport," falls under the services category, specifically veterinary services. The open procurement procedure was covered by GPA and CPTPP agreements. Notably, this process culminated in a contract award to Hall Mark Meat Hygiene Limited. The procurement process reached the award stage with a contract signed on 20th March 2026 and active from 24th March 2026 until 23rd March 2029, with potential extensions up to 23rd March 2031. The contract value, awarded on an open procedure basis, is £300,000 gross.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in veterinary services, as it involves providing official veterinarian services at a major international airport. Companies with expertise in animal product inspections and a solid understanding of the relevant regulations can leverage this contract to expand their market presence and portfolio. SMEs, such as Hall Mark Meat Hygiene Limited, which successfully secured the contract, demonstrate that smaller enterprises with the right capabilities and qualifications—such as membership in the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons—are well-suited to compete. This contract can serve as a foothold advantage in procurement competition and a chance to solidify standing in the public sector services market.
