## Summary

The North East Lincolnshire Council is conducting a tender for the "Provision of Portal Official Veterinarian (OV) Service," classified under veterinary services. Set in North East Lincolnshire, this procurement aims to secure a provider for essential statutory services following the UK's exit from the EU. The tender is currently active, with submissions due by 9th February 2022. The contract is valued at approximately £1,350,000 and involves an open procurement method to foster a competitive bidding environment.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in veterinary services, particularly those capable of delivering official controls at Border Control Posts in Grimsby and Immingham. Companies with expertise in import checks and compliance with current UK and EU regulations, and those with trained veterinary surgeons registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract could lead to long-term partnerships, given the possibility of contract renewals and extensions over a five-year period.

## Notice

North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) requires the 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.
