The buying organisation, Iechyd Da (gwledig) Ltd, based in Aberystwyth, is seeking services in the IT and agricultural sectors. The project involves developing a digital system for biosecurity assessments in veterinary practices to combat antimicrobial resistance. The tender deadline for this opportunity was 17th November 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the IT services and agricultural sectors to provide innovative solutions for biosecurity challenges in veterinary practices. Companies adept at developing digital systems and software for biosecurity assessments would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, and the contracting authority, Iechyd Da (gwledig) Ltd, aims to harness technology to enhance animal health and welfare services, contributing to the reduction of antibiotic use and promoting biosecurity measures in the farming industry. ## Notice Arwain DGC is focussed on developing shared visions of reducing the use of antibiotics through diverse approaches and practices including the use of new and innovative technology. It also aims to develop a collaborative approach to address AMR (antimicrobial resistance) in animals and the environment. The current Arwain DGC programme builds on the previous Arwain DGC programme which ended on 31st August 2023.As a result of the success of the Arwain DGC programme, Welsh Government have confirmed initial funding up to 31st March 2024, with the programme's current schedule of activities continuing until 31st of March 2025..Iechyd Da (gwledig) Ltd. is a project partner in the Arwain DGC Welsh Government funded. Iechyd Da is made up of 35 veterinary practices operating across the area of South Wales together with Welsh Lamb and Beef Producers Ltd (WLBP) the area. Its key aim is to promote and deliver veterinary related animal health and welfare services including our core purpose of provision of TB testing services to government in England and Wales.SpecificationA tender is invited to provide a practical digital system to support the use of a handheld tool to enable veterinary surgeons to carry out objective biosecurity assessments and offer tailored infection control advice to cattle and sheep farmers. Specifically, this relates to likelihood of hazards contributing to infectious disease spread by the movement of animals on and off farms, especially as they pertain to AMR (antimicrobial resistance). The core biosecurity assessment will be general in nature with a separate survey for cattle and sheep. There is a requirement for a "bolt on" survey related to one specific infectious disease in cattle and one in sheep which could lead to additional antibiotic use and therefore the potential for AMR.By utilising novel digital technology Iechyd Da would require the provision of software for hand held devices capable of capturing the risk hazards and interventions in the form of a bespoke mobile App to be integrated with a dashboard and management portal on desktop PC. Reports will be needed to be generated in several different formats such as individual on farm veterinary recommendations reports, benchmarking with similar sized farms, geographical report and a national overview report.The tender requires the development of API (Application Programming Interfaces) to allow data to flow seamlessly from data collection sources (App) to reporting tools and to the secure database that acts as a repository. The tender should include technical support and any licence fees required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=135790 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 17 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Dec 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | IECHYD DA (GWLEDIG) LTD | | Locality | ABERYSTWYTH | | Post town | Shrewsbury | | Postcode | SY23 2WB | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL41 Mid Wales | | Local authority | Ceredigion | | Electoral ward | Llanfarian | | Westminster constituency | Ceredigion Preseli | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CEFN GWLAD SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ## Release History - 20 Dec 2023 at 14:33 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=135790 - 24 Oct 2023 at 15:36 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=135790 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=OCT454862&idx=1 3rd November 2023 - Additional Document - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=OCT454862&idx=3 3rd November 2023 - Additional Document - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=OCT454862&idx=2 3rd November 2023 - Biosecurity App workstream within the Arwain DGC2 programme ## Notice URLs - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
