The procurement process is currently in the tender stage with a deadline for submissions on the 29th April 2024. The contract period is set to start on 31st May 2024 and end on 31st March 2028. This opportunity falls under the services category and is open to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). The project location covers multiple areas including the United Kingdom, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. This tender opportunity by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate provides a platform for businesses in the research and development sector to contribute to the surveillance of antibiotic resistance. Companies specialised in designing and executing research and development projects, particularly related to health and veterinary sciences, are well-suited to compete. The procurement process offers a chance for enterprises, especially SMEs, to engage in cutting-edge research that can have a significant impact on public health and animal welfare, creating opportunities for collaboration and innovation in the industry. ## Notice The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) wishes to undertake research to pilot different approaches to surveillance for antibiotic resistance in companion animals and equines in the UK. The aim of the project is to inform the development of representative UK-wide surveillance of antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria carried by companion animal and equine populations (to include cats and/or dogs, and horses).
