This project falls under the technical services industry category and is located in London, England. It entered the award stage on 20th September 2021, following a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action, with a contract value of £77,151.37. The awarded contract period commenced on 20th September 2021 and is scheduled to end on 19th October 2022. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in technical services, particularly those specialising in modelling and software development. Companies with expertise in quality assurance and long-term software maintenance would be particularly well-suited to compete. With the project being a collaborative effort aimed at influencing GB-wide TB policy, businesses with experience in agricultural health solutions may find this contract particularly beneficial for expanding their portfolio and contributing to public health initiatives. ## Notice The bovine Tuberculosis Modelling Initiative (TBMI) Model (the Model) is a state-of-the-art representation of Tuberculosis (TB) in cattle and badgers. It was developed using the records of the TB epidemic in Great Britain (GB), and cattle movement records from the Cattle Tracing System. This was a collaborative project between the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and the Contractor. The aim of the original project was to develop a model that could be handed over to APHA and used as a tool to inform and evaluate GB wide TB policy. High levels of quality assurance of the code are considered important to the Model, and to have the Model code written in such a way that allows it to be maintained and further developed over a 10-20 year lifespan. However, in order to use the Model to answer specific and critical policy questions that arose during its development, some of the Model code was unable to be properly tested at the time nor written in a fashion that would allow ready maintenance and development of the code going forwards. The Contractor shall complete the checking and tidying up of the Model so that it can be run as required in response to the Godfray review, undertake work to improve the Model fit and facilitate the final handover of the Model to APHA. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/437c61be-1885-4598-91d9-542053f91548 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 19 Sep 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Sep 2021 | | Contract period | 19 Sep 2021 - 19 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £77,151 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £77,151 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE UNIVERSITY COURT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH ACTING THROU | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71356000 - Technical services ## Release History - 22 Sep 2021 at 15:42 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/437c61be-1885-4598-91d9-542053f91548 - 20 Sep 2021 at 15:51 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/437c61be-1885-4598-91d9-542053f91548 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/437c61be-1885-4598-91d9-542053f91548 22nd September 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2a9fac90-2d45-40ef-85d4-33a35a169bc7 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
