## Summary

The procurement process for the "Project 23940 - VDP Framework Call-off - Lot 5 Vaccination" was initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal based in London, England. This tender, classified under veterinary services, falls within the services category and had a contract value of GBP 10,000. The contract period commenced on 24th September 2018 and extends until 23rd September 2019, following a call-off from the framework agreement that concluded on 30th September 2018. This procurement is currently in the award stage, with key suppliers who will provide vaccination personnel ranked by region in accordance with the RFQ scoring mechanism. The tender period concluded on 10th August 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in veterinary services and health-related fields, particularly those capable of delivering vaccination services effectively. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, especially firms with the capability to manage personnel deployments and coordinate vaccination teams. The potential for follow-on contracts and collaborations within the public health sector may further enhance the growth prospects for successful bidders in this tendering process.

## Notice

Vaccination can help move towards the overall goal of eradicating a disease where it is considered practical and cost-effective to do so. In the short term vaccination can help slow, reduce and potentially prevent disease spread. At the same time however, vaccination can carry with it significant costs for industry and Government, and have wider implications for other factors such as the effective monitoring of disease spread, trade and movements. The VDP Framework ended on 30th September 2018, and it was not possible to extend the term of this Framework beyond the stated end date. APHA therefore sought to place a call-off contract for an initial 12 month period from 24th September 2018, with the possibility to extend for a further 6 months, to enable the supply of Vaccination Services whilst longer term delivery options for emergency vaccination are explored and tendered as required. Providers were ranked per region and the highest ranked Provider per region (assessed in accordance with the RFQ scoring mechanism) will be requested to supply Personnel to be part of a Vaccination Team when there is a requirement. If they cannot supply the required personnel, or there is a need for more teams, the next ranked Provider will be approached. Ranking is detailed on the published Order Forms.
