This is part of the goods procurement category within the animal products industry, specifically located in the East of England, UK. The tender was published on 1st May 2019, and it is open until 14th March 2019 for potential suppliers to express their interest via the provided contact email. The expected value of the contract is £15,000, with a contract period starting from 1st May 2019 and concluding on 30th April 2020. This tender presents an opportunity for specialised businesses in the field of veterinary medicine and biological products, particularly those able to produce equine-derived therapeutics. Companies capable of meeting the stringent requirements for potency and purity may find this a unique chance to engage with a significant buyer in the public sector. As there is an indication that only one supplier may be capable of fulfilling the request, there may be limited competition, enabling interested businesses to secure a foothold in this niche market if they can demonstrate their capability to meet the specifications outlined. ## Notice The Agency requires the purchase of purified hyperimmune Equine Tetanus Antitoxin for use in the development of a replacement biological reference material. An overview of the requirement is: hyperimmune equine tetanus antitoxin obtained from the repeated immunisation of horses with tetanus toxoid and toxin. The suitable material would have a potency of at least 1,500 IU/ml in a total volume of not less than 5 L and will be purified F(ab)2. Material to be supplied in 2019. As far as we are aware there is only one supplier who is able to meet this very specific request. Potential suppliers if they feel they can meet the requirement should email Nawaz.habib@nibsc.org to register an interest. If no submissions of potential interest are received by close of play 14 March 2019, it is then intended to perform a direct award without competition to the sole supplier we believe can deliver the required service. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4afa90e3-0eec-4eed-bf92-f637aaadd1f7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | 14 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2019 - 30 Apr 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MHRA BUYER ORGANISATION | | Locality | POTTERS BAR | | Post town | Enfield | | Postcode | EN6 3QG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Hertsmere | | Electoral ward | Shenley | | Westminster constituency | Hertsmere | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 15 - Food, beverages, tobacco and related products - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 03140000 - Animal products and related products - 15100000 - Animal products, meat and meat products - 33141510 - Blood products - 33141580 - Animal blood - 33620000 - Medicinal products for the blood, blood-forming organs and the cardiovascular system - 33621000 - Medicinal products for the blood and blood-forming organs - 33651690 - Vaccines for veterinary medicine - 33696500 - Laboratory reagents - 33698100 - Microbiological cultures - 37413210 - Animal calls - 71900000 - Laboratory services - 73111000 - Research laboratory services - 85200000 - Veterinary services ## Release History - 1 May 2019 at 10:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4afa90e3-0eec-4eed-bf92-f637aaadd1f7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4afa90e3-0eec-4eed-bf92-f637aaadd1f7 1st May 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://mhra.bravosolution.co.uk/web_mhra/login.html MHRA bravo etendering portal Weblink ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
