This procurement falls under the disinfecting and exterminating services industry category and is primarily focused on biosecurity measures at locations across the United Kingdom, particularly at Harwich Port and the British Antarctic Survey's headquarters in Cambridge. The tender process is currently at the award stage, having concluded bidding on 11th August 2021, with the contract set to commence on 1st October 2021 and continue for five years through a call-off arrangement. The total contract value is £50,000, and the procurement method adopted is an open procedure below threshold. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in pest control and biosecurity services, including those capable of providing fumigation and trap installation in a shipping context. Companies of various sizes, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), will find this tender advantageous as the average annual requirement involves biosecuring 50 shipping containers. Moreover, firms equipped to operate during out-of-hours situations may have an edge, as there is potential for work during evenings and weekends. Successful participation could lead to a long-term relationship with a key organisation involved in Antarctic logistics. ## Notice The final date and time for the submission of bids is Wednesday 11th August 2021 at 11:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement British Antarctic Survey's new ship the RRS Sir David Attenborough predominantly takes cargo in 20ft ISO shipping containers. Due to the strict biosecurity requirements for shipping to Antarctica, we are looking into options for container biosecurity activities prior to loading onto our ship and other partner organisation vessels. Suppliers must be able to provide the services described below at locations across the United Kingdom, though the primary locations these activities will be required are Harwich Port and British Antarctic Survey's HQ in Cambridge. This will be a five year call off contract (3+1+1) so no work is guaranteed, but in an average year BAS will be required to biosecure 50 x 20ft shipping containers. The majority of this work will take place at Harwich Port over a few days in October or November. Normally this would be during normal working hours but in exceptional circumstances out of hours working (such as evenings and weekends) might be required. Internal biosecurity will include fumigation, installing rodent bait traps and installing insect stick traps inside 20ft shipping containers.
