Students will be expected to spend the majority of their time on clinical activities with the veterinary staff of the Practice. Veterinary staff will ensure that students are actively involved in clinical procedures and that the educational value from each case is maximised through full explanation and open discussion as well as ensuring that students are given a significant level of case responsibility. It is recognised that case load in Vet practice can be unpredictable. Although there is no requirement for Practice staff to provide scheduled didactic tutorials, it is expected that when case load is low, students on the placement will either be engaged in tutorials or employed under guidance in an educationally valid way. This might include, among other activities, communications with clients, appropriate maintenance of equipment, or assisting in the preparation of invoices or reports. (ii). Consultation and caseload experience The university expects the following range of activities to be covered during the student placements: Consultation times minimum 20 minutes (ideally 30 mins or longer) Canine Consultation per week min of 30 Feline consultations per week min of 10 Other species consultations per week min of 10 Potential surgical procedures per week min of 10 Renewal: Potential 2x 12 month extension periods ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011107-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £180,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH1 1HT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM75 City of Edinburgh | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85200000 - Veterinary services ## Release History - 29 Apr 2022 at 10:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011107-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/procurement/supplying - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000691704 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00107 - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
