The procurement method was direct, with a single tender action below the threshold. The contract period spans from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2026. The location of the project is in London, United Kingdom, with a main procurement category of services. The tender ended on 31st March 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the research and development services sector, particularly those well-versed in consultancy services related to disease analysis and epidemiology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are suitable participants for this contract. Businesses with expertise in genetic analysis, disease dynamics, and environmental risk factors analysis would be well-suited to compete in this tender. ## Notice This STA (single tender agreement) approval request relates to a Research Project awarded by ICRAD to the University of Nottingham (UoN) following an open competition. UoN was then jointly subcontracted with ADAS by APHA with the costs having been approved by Defra (Project Code: SE14335). The Project co-ordinator is the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), Germany. The project involves multiple partners from 6 European countries. The objectives of the project are to: * determine the extent of Prion protein gene (PRNP) variability in Icelandic sheep and predict the effect of specific polymorphisms (PM) on susceptibility/resistance to CS and analyse the prion biodiversity and zoonotic potential of Icelandic CS strains over time * analyse how and where scrapie infectivity remains within the environment and how effective decontamination is in the field * conduct epidemiological analysis of outbreaks to identify risk factors associated with prolonged exposure to CS, and to develop an economic model for CS response. To address these objectives, 4 interactive Work-Packages (WP) were designed. Host Genetics (WP1), Prion Strain Evolution (WP2) and Environmental Factors (WP3) define the key impacts on this multifactorial disease, whilst WP4 utilises all results for Epidemiological Analysis and the development of an economic model. APHA is actively involved in WP2 (Prion Strain Evolution) and WP3 (Environmental factors). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d0ae2b8-6c4e-4c8f-ab8e-6294454935c1 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 31 Mar 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Feb 2024 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £95,099 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 28 Mar 2024 at 10:35 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d0ae2b8-6c4e-4c8f-ab8e-6294454935c1 - 27 Mar 2024 at 16:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f4fb802-85dc-4a98-be24-7e2d2dd7cd99 - 27 Mar 2024 at 16:47 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cffd2b54-13cb-40d0-a707-053d05d2e124 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3d0ae2b8-6c4e-4c8f-ab8e-6294454935c1 28th March 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f4fb802-85dc-4a98-be24-7e2d2dd7cd99 27th March 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cffd2b54-13cb-40d0-a707-053d05d2e124 27th March 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dc95c4d1-755a-4f51-8842-0a1a0477a832 Redacted C23115 -Classical Scrapie in Iceland a model for prion diseases worldwide (UoN)_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/aafc4a39-cf89-4b00-8182-02c1526dd98b Redacted C23115 -Classical Scrapie in Iceland a model for prion diseases worldwide (UoN)_Redacted - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6de9f5bc-cf25-420d-bf4e-3657745031ee Redacted C23115 -Classical Scrapie in Iceland a model for prion diseases worldwide (UoN)_Redacted ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
