UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is buying named veterinary surgeon services for its South Mimms site. The work is veterinary support for the site, classified in the procurement as veterinary services. The tender also labels the service under laboratory services, but the stated requirement is for a named veterinary surgeon. The delivery location is recorded only as the United Kingdom, so the data does not identify a more specific place for delivery. This is a single service requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. MHRA is the buyer and the organisation whose site the services support.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Agenda Resource Management Ltd. The award is dated 5 October 2026, with a value of £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). The awarded contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 15 October 2031. MHRA used an open procedure. Two bids were received, and both reached the final stage; both came from SMEs. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60%, commercial cost at 30% and social value at 10%. The requirement was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The tender deadline was extended; submissions were due by 15 September 2026. The enquiry deadline was 18 August 2026.

This award shows demand from MHRA for named veterinary surgeon support at its South Mimms site, delivered as a defined, multi-year service contract. A credible competitor would need to provide veterinary services suited to the site’s requirements and demonstrate strong technical quality, which carried the greatest evaluation weight. Competitive pricing also mattered, alongside a clear social value offer. The procurement attracted two final-stage bids, both from SMEs, showing that smaller suppliers were able to compete for this requirement. Veterinary service providers with the expertise and operational capacity to sustain named-surgeon cover over a substantial contract period are the closest fit. The buyer’s use of an open procedure and a single lot indicates that the requirement was competed as one integrated service rather than divided into separate packages.
