Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process for the "APHA FPAF Biosecurity Support at Events" was conducted by the Animal and Plant Health Agency, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom. Located at Seacole Building on Marsham Street in London, this project aimed to provide biosecurity support at three prominent rowing and paddling events in 2026. The process followed a direct procurement method without competition, given its below-threshold value. The tender, which falls under the Services category, specifically health and safety services, is now in the award stage and has been completed. The contract, worth £14,110 excluding VAT, was signed on 18th June 2026 and covers activities between 1st July and 30th September 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental and health safety services within the aquatic events space. Organisations capable of delivering comprehensive biosecurity measures, engaging effectively with the public, and disseminating ecologically responsible practices would be well-suited to competitions of this nature. The North Wales Wildlife Trust, a large VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise), was successful in securing this contract, highlighting the potential for similar entities to enhance their portfolios and build a strong relationship with government bodies by offering specialised, impactful services in niche markets.
