## Summary

The procurement process is led by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on a project titled "Field trials for cattle injectable vaccine and the DIVA." This initiative falls under the research and development services industry category, specifically targeting veterinary applications within the United Kingdom. Currently, the procurement method is an open procedure, and the contract value is approximately £1,778,248. The award status is active, and the contract was signed on 4 January 2021. The primary objective is to conduct field trials to secure marketing authorisations for an injectable vaccine and a DIVA skin test for cattle in areas with a specified TB incidence.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses engaged in veterinary research, vaccine development, and related consultancy services.
