The contract, under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, was initiated through an open procedure and covers a total duration from 20 January 2026 to 31 March 2031. Significant locations include Bury, Carmarthen, and Weybridge, with the procurement focusing on the goods category, specifically post-mortem and mortuary equipment. The tender's award, dated 19 January 2026, was granted to PD Engineering Consultancy Ltd, an SME based in Luton. The contractual arrangement allows for continued purchases over five years, contingent on business need and budgetary approvals. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in post-mortem and mortuary equipment supplies, fabrication work, or animal husbandry services. Companies with capabilities in these sectors, particularly SMEs familiar with central government procurement protocols, stand to benefit from such contracts. The open procurement method and considerable contract value of £750,000 demonstrate a commitment to accessible competition and potential for scaling operations in a niche market, thereby fostering growth opportunities for suppliers engaged in similar industry verticals. The structured KPI framework ensures adherence to delivery and quality, underscoring the importance of operational excellence for successful participation. ## Notice APHA has a number of busy postmortem rooms that supports APHA's surveillance and statutory activities. APHA's postmortem rooms must have suitable equipment to handle a wide range of animal species and the capacity to perform multiple postmortems at once. APHA has an immediate requirement to purchase six postmortem tables at three sites (Bury, Carmarthen and Weybridge) which have reached the end of their lives. This Contract will however be in place for a total of five years and during this period any APHA site may purchase postmortem tables via this contract for other sites, subject to business need and budgetary approval. Note on start date: the contract start date was 16/01/2026. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/004281-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Dec 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Dec 2025 | | Contract period | 20 Jan 2026 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £750,000 | | Lots value | £750,000 | | Awards value | £750,000 | | Contracts value | £750,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active, Pending | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH AGENCY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PD ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products - 45 - Construction work - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 33900000 - Post-mortem and mortuary equipment and supplies - 45255400 - Fabrication work - 77500000 - Animal husbandry services ## Release History - 19 Jan 2026 at 11:53 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/004281-2026 - 23 Dec 2025 at 17:04 - AwardUpdate - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086001-2025 - 23 Dec 2025 at 17:00 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085998-2025 - 19 Nov 2025 at 08:56 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075020-2025 - 18 Nov 2025 at 17:44 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074981-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/004281-2026 19th January 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086001-2025 23rd December 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085998-2025 23rd December 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/075020-2025 19th November 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074981-2025 18th November 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
