## Summary

The Defra Network eTendering Portal is currently engaged in a tender process for the "Dead Wild Bird Collection Services," classified under the cattle, livestock, and small animals category. This contract involves the collection and delivery of wild bird carcasses for disease surveillance to designated testing centres, ensuring readiness for increased operational demands during outbreaks. The tender period concluded on 9 April 2018, and after the award made on 4 May 2018, the contract is set to run from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2020, valued at £125,000. This procurement was carried out using an open procedure method.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in wildlife management and collection services. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in surveillance services, logistics, and compliance with health regulations would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in such services not only contributes to public health safety measures but also enhances a firm's standing within the environmental and agricultural sectors.

## Notice

Contract Extension The Authority requires the collection of wild birds carcasses that are deemed to be of surveillance value and delivery of the carcases to designated APHA VIC or Scottish Agricultural College Disease Surveillance Centres (SAC DSC) sites for testing. This service is required on a business-as-usual basis but the contract will also ensure the contractor can meet APHA's increased operation demands in the event of a disease outbreak. The Authority also requires the provision of unique carcase / sample identification numbers which will be held on a Central Spreadsheet (provided by the Authority to the Contractor).
