Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council is buying veterinary services for Graves Park Animal Farm. The work is to provide veterinary care to the farm’s animals. Delivery is in Sheffield, England. This is a service contract, classified as veterinary services (CPV 85200000).

The council invited offers through an open competition below the UK procurement threshold. The tender deadline was 31 January 2027 at 17:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 20 January 2027 at 17:00. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The estimated value is £90,000 excluding VAT (£108,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation gives 70% weighting to price and 30% to quality, assessed using the MSQ criterion.

This opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized suppliers. It will suit veterinary practices or service providers able to deliver veterinary care for an animal farm in Sheffield over a multi-year contract. Price is the larger part of the evaluation, but quality also forms a substantial part, so bidders need to demonstrate both competitive pricing and the quality of their proposed service. The requirement is focused on veterinary services for a specific farm, rather than general animal-care goods or construction work.
