## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority has published a Prior Information Notice titled "PIN: Veterinary Experts panel" for early market engagement related to a potential market investigation into Veterinary Services for household pets in the UK. The tender involves establishing a panel of Veterinary Experts to provide specialist advice, with a contract value of £90,000. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period ending on 28th May 2024. The contract is expected to start on 1st August 2024 and end on 31st July 2026, with the delivery location specified as London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for Veterinary Services businesses to compete for a contract with the Competition and Markets Authority. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the tender mentions suitability for these types of businesses. Companies in the Veterinary services industry category, particularly those with expertise in veterinary matters, practicing as a veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse, would be well-suited to participate in this procurement process and contribute to the CMA's market investigation.

## Notice

Prior Information notice: We are conducting early market engagement through a Prior Information Notice, on a contingency basis, to ensure that external expertise is available to support the Inquiry Group with its investigation should the CMA Board decide to make a reference and should we therefore launch a market investigation. In those circumstances, we would be seeking to establish a panel of Veterinary Experts who can be called upon to provide advice. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) may require up to 3 external advisers 'referred to as 'Veterinary Experts' to provide advice to the CMA Inquiry Group conducting a market investigation into Veterinary Services for household pets in the UK. The experts would provide specialist input on veterinary matters, which would be a priority for ensuring that the Group understands the industry and in order to bolster the robustness of any analysis undertaken. The role of the Veterinary Experts would be to provide the Group with insight and analysis on matters relating to practicing as a veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse.
