This initiative focuses on research and experimental development services within the veterinary services sector. The engagement end date for interested parties is set for 23rd February 2018, with comments on the essential capabilities required to be submitted by email by 3rd October 2017. The geographical scope includes the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories among others. This procurement opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth for businesses specializing in veterinary research and development, particularly those experienced in running scientific competitions and managing international payments for research initiatives. Companies with expertise in vaccine development and antimicrobial resistance, especially those familiar with working in low and middle-income countries, will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this process could lead to partnerships and increased visibility within the global veterinary scientific community. ## Notice The Department of Health is conducting some pre-market engagement to establish whether there are suitable organisation(s) interested in taking part in further competition for potential research and development competition(s), to develop veterinary vaccines and alternatives to antibiotics to combat antimicrobial resistance for the benefit of people in low and middle income countries. We are interested in appointing a delivery partner to help design, run and manage potential international scientific competition(s), with onward responsibility for monitoring award recipients and managing the overall award portfolio. The focus of the competition(s) will be to invest in research and development to support the development of vaccines and alternative treatments for animals in order to combat antimicrobial resistance. This is focused on projects which are primarily and directly for the benefit of people in low and middle income countries (LMICS). In order to deliver this programme we will require three essential capabilities: 1. Running and designing scientific and R & D competitions with the monitoring of recipients; 2. Issue and manage international payments to research organisations; and 3. Have substantial in-house expertise in the science or product development of veterinary vaccinology for the benefit of people in LMICS. The Authority is interested to receive your comments as to whether these essential capabilities could be delivered by a single provider, including your organisation. Please can you describe how you have delivered similar requirements in the past and what aspects would be appropriate to replicate here. We would also be grateful if you could provide contact details of partners you have worked with who might be able to tell us more about how similar competitions have been designed and conducted in the past. Please note that any delivery partner could be required to conduct and manage potential competition(s) in line with the Cabinet Office Grant Standards. The Authority is seeking information as to whether the relevant providers in the market are in principle able to comply with the principles set out in the standards available at the following link - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/grants-standards Suppliers that have an interest in engaging with the Authority should express their interest via e-mail to john.cook@dh.gsi.gov.uk by close of Tuesday 3rd October 2017 ensuring they have provided comments on the above requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2cc8f381-83f9-46d2-ab79-1e5d906e3d4b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH | | Locality | READING, BERKS | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG1 7EB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ16 Berkshire West | | Local authority | Reading | | Electoral ward | Abbey | | Westminster constituency | Reading Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 75100000 - Administration services - 75211200 - Foreign economic-aid-related services - 79900000 - Miscellaneous business and business-related services - 85200000 - Veterinary services ## Release History - 11 Sep 2017 at 15:04 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2cc8f381-83f9-46d2-ab79-1e5d906e3d4b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2cc8f381-83f9-46d2-ab79-1e5d906e3d4b 11th September 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/da4c1163-1b73-4d2e-ab86-dd06070c9a68 Cover Letter - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c1ce3ca9-591f-4880-b1db-04302226c3e9 Prior Information Notice (PIN) document ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/grants-standards ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
