## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal and focuses on the provision of intellectual property management services, particularly related to know-how and patents developed by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). This tender falls within the legal advisory services industry category and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure above the threshold, with the tender period having ended on 1st March 2021. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2021, with an expected duration until 31st March 2025. The total contract value is £75,000.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in the commercialisation of intellectual property, especially within the veterinary sector. Businesses that can provide flexible, advisory IP management services tailored to the veterinary scientific market may find significant growth potential in this contract, as the agency anticipates calling upon the supplier on an ad hoc basis throughout the contract duration.

## Notice

The scope of this work relates to the marketing and provision of intellectual property (IP) management services in respect to know-how and patents developed by APHA. The Agency would therefore require a supplier with experience of early stage commercialisation of (IP) know-how and patents combined with knowledge of the veterinary scientific space and commercial veterinary markets. There is no guaranteed level of work but the Agency expect to call on the supplier on an ad hoc basis to provide advice as when required during the duration of the contract.
