This involves providing services related to identifying and controlling bovine tuberculosis through on-farm kill and carcase collection. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with a total contract value of £3,600,000. The deadline for future notices is set for 27th September 2022. This tender opportunity can benefit businesses involved in agricultural services, animal handling, carcase disposal, and live animal transport. Companies capable of providing on-farm kill services, carcase collection, slaughtering services, droving, herding, and live animal transport are well-suited to compete. The buying organisation, Defra Network eTendering Portal, is seeking providers to deliver a complete range of services to support disease control efforts in the food and farming industry. ## Notice APHA has a critical role in the control and eradication of endemic and infectious diseases, most notably bovine tuberculosis (TB). The Government is committed to eradicating bovine TB to support the food and farming industry and reducing costs for farmers and taxpayers. TB testing and Reactor Removal plays a crucial role in identifying infected herds and controlling TB, thus helping to reduce further spread of the disease. On-Farm Kill services are primarily required for TB reactors but may be required for animals affected by other diseases or welfare issues, which are unfit to be transported to a slaughterhouse and/or enter the food chain. This may include (but is not limited to) farmed animals during the last 10% of gestation, those that are lame, or are unfit to enter the food chain due to being under the drug withdrawal period, or Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) suspect animals. ### Lot Information On Farm Kill, including handling, culling, removal of carcase(s) and provision of post mortem examination facilities, (where required) and carcase disposal Services Providers will provide a complete service from start to finish from killing the animal, preparing the carcase for PME and disposing of the carcase and waste. There is also a service under this lot where an animal is killed on farm and delivered to an APHA lab for further investigation. Carcase Collection Services Providers will provide a Carcase collection service to collect Carcases that are deemed to be of surveillance value, from the Authority assigned areas in England and Wales, and deliver them to the appropriate PME site. Slaughterman - Captive Bolt Services Providers will provide a captive bolt service where there services are required as part of an incident or outbreak. For example these service may be required where large numbers of animals need processing and the waste is removed via bulkers rather than via lot 1. Slaughterman - Free Bullet Marksmen Services Providers will provide a free bullet service where there services are required as part of an incident or outbreak. For example these service may be required where large numbers of animals need processing and the waste is removed via bulkers rather than via lot 1.
