## Summary

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is in the planning stage for the procurement of biosecurity support services at large aquatic sporting events, classified under "Environmental monitoring other than for construction". The procurement process is focused on service delivery within the East Midlands, specifically in the NG12 2LU postal code area. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage by 19th March 2025, with expressions of interest to be submitted by midday. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, and APHA wishes to gauge market interest for multiple events, two of which require separate groups due to scheduling conflicts.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specializing in biosecurity services to expand their portfolio and gain visibility in government contracts. Ideal candidates include SME contractors with relevant experience and skills in environmental monitoring. APHA seeks contractors capable of delivering services across multiple events, highlighting the potential for sustained engagement. Businesses looking to compete should demonstrate their ability to cover the specified events and provide detailed contact information, ensuring clear communication with the contracting authority.

## Notice

Please review the Expression of Interest (P-37676) attachment for more details of the requirement and what is involved. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) would like to hear from any suitably skilled and experienced contractors who would be interested in delivering the services required for any number of these aquatic events detailed in the attachment. Please note that for events 3 & 4, as they are scheduled to take place on the same days, we would require two separate groups, one group to cover each event. At this present time, we would just like to gage whether there is interest in the market, who is interested and whether all events could be covered by various contractors. Please ensure that all expressions are emailed to Alison Dyson directly via alison.dyson@defra.gov.uk on or before the closing date of 12:00pm (midday) on 19/03/2025. Your expression should detail your: - - contact name - email address - telephone number - Company Name - Which events you could deliver
