The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), located in London, has completed a procurement process for the project titled "Laboratory Models with Cryopreservation Storage", under the industry category of laboratory services. The procurement, executed through a direct method without competition, was aimed at securing the rederivation, breeding, and cryopreservation of the Tg338 transgenic mouse line, crucial for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) research.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the field of laboratory services, particularly those specialising in genetic and cryopreservation technologies. The project's focus on maintaining and developing critical research models could attract additional research funding and partnerships, especially for companies looking to expand their involvement in TSE and related scientific research. Businesses with capabilities in high-quality laboratory services, breeding and genetic management of research animals are well-suited to benefit from this contract.
