## Summary

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) under Defra has released a tender titled "Livestock ADR Transport & Disposal Services Framework Agreement" in the category of Animal Husbandry Services. This procurement is designed to replace the existing framework with the aim of appointing multiple suppliers who can assist in the rapid response to endemic and exotic disease outbreaks such as Avian Influenza and Swine Fever across England, Scotland, and Wales. The procurement is currently in the Award stage and the contract is expected to commence from 21st October 2024. The key aspects involve two lots; Lot 1 covers Livestock Disposal and ADR Transport Services and Lot 2 handles ADR Transport Services, with services needed on a readiness level for urgent deployment within 6 to 12 hours.

This procurement offers substantial business opportunities for companies specialising in animal husbandry, hazardous waste management, and bio-secure transport services. The framework allows for multiple suppliers, presenting a competitive opening for both SMEs and larger firms capable of meeting rigorous compliance and rapid response requirements. Firms with expertise in ADR-compliant transportation, licensed waste disposal, and those with infrastructure ready for emergency bio-secure operations are well-positioned to compete. The diverse scope covering both disposal and transport services ensures a broad range of business types can benefit from this significant public sector commitment.
