UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency, located in London, has completed a procurement for a "Poultry Health Training Course" designed to enhance the knowledge of frontline veterinary staff. This tender falls under the services category, particularly management training services, and was executed using a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The training course will occur from 20th to 24th July 2026 in various regions across the United Kingdom, facilitated by The Pirbright Institute. This procurement process has reached the award stage as of 29th May 2026, with The Pirbright Institute awarded the contract valued at £10,500 GBP, excluding VAT.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for organisations specialising in management training services. The focus on direct procurement means businesses that can provide tailored trainings without the need for competitive bidding may find such opportunities particularly appealing. Companies qualified to offer such specialised services, especially those familiar with veterinary and animal health scenarios, will be well-suited to support the needs of central government public authorities like the Animal and Plant Health Agency, thus benefiting from targeted government contracts in the future.
