Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Food Standards Scotland (FSS), involves a contract titled "Locum OV Services - Agency" aimed at sourcing Official Veterinary (OV) and Meat Health Inspectors (MHIs). This contract is part of a limited procurement method, awarded without prior public competition due to extreme urgency relating to COVID-19. The contract covers services across the whole of Scotland and is effective from 15 April 2020 to 14 October 2020, with a potential extension of up to 12 months. The total contract value is £200,000, and the contract has been awarded to Global Veterinary Careers.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for veterinary service providers, particularly those with capabilities in supplying qualified Locum OV and MHIs. Businesses specialising in veterinary consultancy and staffing solutions, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the ability to provide services nationally, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Given the nature of the contract and the ongoing needs stemming from public health considerations, this sector remains ripe for growth and collaboration.
