This tender includes two lots: Lot 1 focuses on general veterinary services offered on Metropolitan Police Service premises, while Lot 2 addresses more complex veterinary needs, requiring emergency care 24/7 at nearby facilities across London. The awarded contract has a total value of £1,436,610 and is valid from 17 August 2020 to 16 August 2022, with potential extensions. The procurement method used for this tender was open, with the procedure concluding on 31 March 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in veterinary services, particularly those that can provide both standard and emergency care for police dogs. Companies with the capability to deliver veterinary services within a geographically favorable location in London, as well as those with experience in animal welfare, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The involvement of independent suppliers such as Independent Vetcare Ltd and Goddard Veterinary Group indicates a trend towards collaborative approaches, which could inspire smaller businesses to partner for future tenders in this sector. ## Notice Lot 1 - General Veterinary Services: *The MPS has appointed a single provider to provide a single vet styled practice based on MPS premises to cover basic and routine healthcare for all Police dogs. *This includes preventative healthcare, treatment and diagnosis of illnesses and injuries associated with general practice, the use of ultrasound and x-ray equipment along with basic surgical procedures. *This Lot also requires veterinary provision to the MPS breeding programme, whelping support along with assessments of fitness to work (including retirement) and expert witness support for dangerous dog and animal welfare investigations.

Lot 2 - Complex Veterinary Services: *The MPS has appointed a single provider or providers to provide veterinary services which are of a more complex nature and outside of the scope and capability of Lot 1. *This lot also requires the provision of care which is of an emergency, urgent or priority nature and to provide a fall-back option in the event that Lot 1 is unavailable. The providers (s) will deliver these services at their own facility and provide all necessary equipment, supplies and services. *Emergency veterinary provision must be available 24 hours per day.
