## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is overseeing the procurement of a project titled "Co-ordinated capacity building for UK response to emerging arthropod-borne viruses." This initiative falls within the health and environmental services industry, specifically focusing on diagnostic assays and research services. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract valued at £479,079, set to commence on 1 March 2016 and concluding on 28 February 2019. Interested businesses should note that the tendering process involved an end date for submissions on 1 February 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the research services, diagnostics, and environmental sectors, to engage in a project that enhances UK capabilities in managing arbovirus threats. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find their services and products well-suited for participation. Companies with expertise in data services and collaboration in public health initiatives are particularly encouraged to explore this opportunity to contribute to important research efforts while potentially expanding their market presence.

## Notice

In order to meet the threat of emerging arboviruses through provision of diagnostic assays and datasets to support policy decision making, Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and The Pirbright Insititute (TPI) are coordinating research activities in this subject area. This project aims to integrate the work of both Institutes to improve prediction, detection and control of arbovirus incursions in the UK.
