Lot Information

Lot 1

To meet the Scottish Government's statutory obligation to maintain records of, and monitor, livestock identification, registration, movement and health for the purposes of disease prevention, control, eradication and the protection of public health, we are seeking the provision of an established, fully integrated service to be delivered for an interim period. This interim service package should include the operation of an existing online, fully relational livestock database, supported by expert advice, guidance, and assistance from a dedicated office and helpline team. Key aspects of this requirement include: - maintaining the official SG records for identification, registration, movement and health status of cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, ferrets, pigeons and poultry; - provision of technical support to run the service and ensure safe and efficient data transfer to/from third parties; - running a well-informed and trained helpdesk of staff who are all connected to Scottish agriculture to ensure that animal keepers and the wider sector understand what is required in terms of supplying statutory data and to assist with appropriate access to data; -supplying data to Scottish Ministers to facilitate monitoring and inspection of livestock premises in order to ensure compliance with Scottish and UK law and to meet international trade requirements; - production and supply of cattle identification documents; - research and development of new elements of the existing integrated online system in response to new animal health and welfare requirements identified by Scottish Ministers.

Procurement Information

This contract has been awarded without prior publication in reliance on Regulation 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The services can only be supplied by the contractor because competition is absent for technical reasons. Those technical reasons include specialist knowledge and issues pertaining to the transfer of IT software and support functions. No reasonable alternative or substitute supplier could deliver the services, ensuring statutory compliance, at this time. The contract period is limited to the minimum period necessary to maintain delivery of services whilst developing the procurement for retendering the services.
