## Summary

The procurement process involves North East Lincolnshire Council seeking a provider for the "Provision of Portal Official Veterinarian (OV) Service". This service is essential for conducting import checks at the new Border Control Post (BCP) in Grimsby and Immingham, necessitated by increased exports following the UK’s exit from the EU. The successful contract, awarded to Eville & Jones (Commercial Services) Limited, is valued at £1,478,327.38 and spans from 4th April 2022 to 3rd April 2024. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 9th February 2022.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses operating within veterinary services, particularly those capable of providing official control at border facilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) in the UK would be particularly well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in compliance and regulatory procedures in the context of animal imports. The increase in operational requirements following new legislation presents a chance for these businesses to expand their services and partner with a council committed to maintaining high standards in public health and safety.

## Notice

North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) requires a provider to deliver a portal official veterinarian (OV) service. Please note that this is a rerun of the abandoned procurement for Provision of Portal Official Veterinarian (OV) Service run in Summer 2021, reference number DN555246 / FTS 2021/S 000-016393. Following the UK's departure from the EU, there is a requirement for import checks on certain goods of both non-EU and EU origin. Associated British Ports (ABP) are providing a new Border Control Post (BCP) that will be approved to handle a range of products and the Authority is responsible for providing the required operational resource. The Authority has seen a substantial increase in exports and associated control with the exit from the EU. Most products of animal origin require the presence of an Official Veterinary Surgeon (OVS). This is a statutory requirement in accordance with current EU and UK legislation (UK TARP Regulations 2011, as amended or replaced, Official Control Regulations 2017/625) and requirements of the central competent authorities (DEFRA and FSA). The Provider shall deliver official controls at the Border Control Post and maintain the full range of imports that can arrive into Grimsby and Immingham.
