The engagement end date for this opportunity is March 27, 2024. The agency seeks a contractor to provide biosecurity support at various aquatic events in England until the end of March 2025. The services will include operating biosecurity stations, educating participants on biosecurity measures, and developing example kit lists for boating events to prevent invasive aquatic species spread. This tender issued by the Animal and Plant Health Agency presents a business opportunity for companies in the environmental security and safety services sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, offering businesses time to prepare their bids and capabilities to meet the agency's requirements for biosecurity services at various aquatic events. ## Notice The Animal and Plant Health Agency is seeking a contractor to provide biosecurity support at ten aquatic sporting events (including angling, paddling, boating and rowing) between now and end of March 2025, and develop three example biosecurity protocols for future boating events. The contractor is asked to provide biosecurity support at ten aquatic sporting events in England between now and end of March 2025 to help prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species. The specific events will be confirmed shortly but will include angling, boating, paddling and rowing events, and are likely to be at a number of locations across England. The contractor will be required to run a biosecurity / washdown station to help participants clean their boats and kit on arrival, and / or before they leave (depending on specific event requirements) and raise awareness of biosecurity and the Check Clean Dry campaign to participants. Some events may require the contractor to attend the event for more than one day. The services shall also include using the experience gained (and any previous experience) to develop three example kit lists / methodologies for running a washdown station at boating events that are considered low, medium, and high risk for transfer of invasive aquatic species. The contractor is permitted to subcontract individual events to other contractors with similar experience. Please reply: 1) Could you do all of them or require subcontracting? 2) Whether you could carry out all of the events (circa 10) across 2024, even if there are two events on one day- do you have a sufficient team to cover both events? 3) If you are interested in this - please email Angelica.Ho@defra.gov.uk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29e246b5-b4e5-4171-b16b-f550298c9b60 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Feb 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 27 Mar 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 45244100 - Marine installations - 79341400 - Advertising campaign services - 79952100 - Cultural event organisation services - 90714600 - Environmental security control services - 90720000 - Environmental protection - 90721000 - Environmental safety services - 90921000 - Disinfecting and exterminating services - 98361000 - Aquatic marine services ## Release History - 28 Feb 2024 at 09:49 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29e246b5-b4e5-4171-b16b-f550298c9b60 - 20 Feb 2024 at 08:47 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3e08fab0-12e6-41ab-9791-86d35764c3ac ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29e246b5-b4e5-4171-b16b-f550298c9b60 28th February 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3e08fab0-12e6-41ab-9791-86d35764c3ac 20th February 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
