The process is currently in the planning stage, and the procurement method is a Prior Information notice. The tender aims to establish a panel of Veterinary Experts to provide advice for a market investigation into Veterinary Services for household pets in the UK. The deadline for future notices is set for June 12, 2024. The procurement is being conducted by the Competition and Markets Authority based in London, United Kingdom. This tender for a Veterinary Experts panel provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in veterinary services to participate and potentially secure contracts in providing expert advice to the Competition and Markets Authority. Veterinary surgeons and nurses with relevant qualifications and experience in the UK are well-suited to compete for the lots offered in this procurement. The procurement process is initiated on a contingency basis to engage external expertise and ensure comprehensive industry insight for the market investigation, benefiting businesses in the veterinary sector looking to expand their presence through public contracts. ## Notice Prior Information notice: We are conducting early market engagement through a Prior Information Notice, on a contingency basis, to ensure that external expertise is available to support the Inquiry Group with its investigation should the CMA Board decide to make a reference and should we therefore launch a market investigation. In those circumstances, we would be seeking to establish a panel of Veterinary Experts who can be called upon to provide advice. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) may require up to 3 external advisers 'referred to as 'Veterinary Experts' to provide advice to the CMA Inquiry Group conducting a market investigation into Veterinary Services for household pets in the UK. The experts would provide specialist input on veterinary matters, which would be a priority for ensuring that the Group understands the industry and in order to bolster the robustness of any analysis undertaken. The role of the Veterinary Experts would be to provide the Group with insight and analysis on matters relating to practicing as a veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse. ### Lot Information Veterinary Surgeons This lot would cover those who have a good understanding of the business practices and day-to-day operation of vet practices, hospitals or referral centres, through experience from working as a veterinary surgeon in or with corporate and/or independently owned surgeries.
