## Summary

The procurement process concerns the supply of biomarkers of vaccine protection in a murine model of BCG for the Defra Network eTendering Portal, located in London, England. This tender falls under the veterinary medicine industry category, specifically focused on vaccines. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with a contract value of £24,000. The contract period commenced on 7th December 2016 and runs until 30th April 2017. The procurement method employed is limited, allowing for contract award without prior publication of a contract notice.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in veterinary medicine and immunology, particularly those with capabilities in conducting specific characterisation of immune responses. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are adept in bioinformatics and vaccine development would be particularly suited to participate in future procurements of this nature. Engaging with this sector can help these businesses expand their market reach and enhance their offerings in the growing field of vaccine research and production.

## Notice

Objective 1. Characterisation of BCG-Induced protective cells. By characterizing the incomplete immunity induced by BCG, we may be able to design improved vaccines which stimulate better or additional long term memory responses. A prerequisite for this is more tractable measurement of long term memory responses in cattle, and understanding BCG protection in mice is an optimal approach to achieve this. One of the approaches being undertaken is RNA-Seq & combined bio-informatic analysis on highly specific T cells from immune mice, isolated by flow cytometric sorting.
