## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is initiating a tender for the "TB Advisory Service", seeking expert biosecurity advice for cattle and non-bovine animals in bovine TB risk areas of England. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a budget of £2,000,000 and a contract period set from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2025. A supplier engagement event is scheduled for 23 November 2020, at 15:30 via Microsoft Teams, providing an opportunity for interested parties to learn more about the procurement process and requirements.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in agricultural biosecurity and veterinary services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to the tailored nature of the service required. Companies capable of delivering on-farm consultancy and bespoke biosecurity solutions tailored to protect herds from bovine TB are well-suited to compete for this contract, potentially opening the door for further collaborations within the agricultural sector.

## Notice

The Authority is looking to appoint a supplier to deliver expert biosecurity advice to keepers of cattle and farmed non-bovine animals (i.e. South American camelids, deer, goat, pigs and sheep) in the High, Low and Edge bovine TB (bTB) risk areas of England. The advice will be mainly one-to-one, on-farm and bespoke, and will focus on practical and affordable ways to improve the biosecurity of the herd, thereby aiming to protect it from bTB infection. Additional information: The Authority is holding a supplier engagement event on the 23/11/2020 at 15:30pm via Microsoft Teams. Please email aman.sharma@defra.gov.uk if you would be interested in attending and details will be sent out to you.
