## Summary

The procurement process for the "Animal and Plant Health Modelling Services Framework" is initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, responsible for managing services related to animal and plant health. This framework, categorised under technical services, aims to establish a flexible provision of modelling capabilities and expert analysis needed for government policy decision-making in emergency and non-emergency scenarios. The tender was published on 25 October 2019, with a deadline for submissions on 26 November 2019. The contract period starts from 23 December 2019 and continues until 22 November 2022, covering multiple delivery locations in the United Kingdom and beyond, under an open procurement method above threshold.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in modelling services and related technical expertise. Companies that particularly suit this tender include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with capabilities in animal and plant health analytics. The framework allows multiple providers to be appointed, thus increasing competition and fostering business growth through active participation in critical sector analysis that aids in maintaining the UK's agricultural health standards.

## Notice

The Authority has appointed multiple Providers onto a Framework to supply animal and plant health modelling expertise and services. The Framework is divided into two Lots: a) Lot 1 - Animal Health Modelling Services b) Lot 2 - Plant Health Modelling Services Both Lots are intended to be used in both emergency and non-emergency situations. The relevant call-off processes which will apply are described in detail in Part C of the Authority's Conditions of Framework. Modelling and analytical requirements are for the whole of GB. Providers may be required to perform analysis at a country level, government level, regional level or county level. This Framework replaces the Quantitative Modelling Standing Capacity (QMSC), reference 21334. This was the Authority's previous framework for animal and plant health modelling services which expired in June 2019.
