## Summary

North East Lincolnshire Council is conducting a procurement process for the "Provision of Portal Official Veterinarian (OV) Service", classified under veterinary services. This open tender process is currently active and has a bid closing date of 2nd September 2021. The contract entails delivering official controls at a new Border Control Post in Grimsby and Immingham, necessitated by UK regulations post-Brexit. The total contract value is estimated at £450,000, with an expected contract duration of 24 months plus extensions. Interested parties must submit their tenders electronically via the specified portal.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for veterinary service providers, particularly those experienced in compliance with UK and EU regulations regarding animal imports. Companies with a strong track record in official veterinary services, as well as those capable of meeting the set quality and cost criteria, will be well-suited to compete. The necessity for thorough operational oversight and compliance at the Border Control Post may also benefit firms with expertise in training and advisory services within the veterinary sector.

## Notice

North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) requires a provider to deliver a portal official veterinarian (OV) service. 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. All information and documents are only available via www.yortender.co.uk All clarifications and questions must be submitted via www.yortender.co.uk
