Published requirement description

This Framework Agreement is for the delivery of services to manage the collection, slaughter, salvage and disposal of farmed livestock for TB control purposes in England, Scotland and Wales. There are three types of services which suppliers can supply to us. Lot 1 (England and Wales only*), The Collection, Slaughter, Salvage and Disposal of Farmed Livestock for TB Control Purposes. Lot 2: (Scotland only*): The Slaughter, Salvage and Disposal of Farmed Livestock for TB Control Purposes. Lot 3: (All Regions): The Collection & Transport of Live Animal. *for lots 1 and 2, a supplier can be located outside of these regions, but work will only be to deliver services in the stated regions. For example, a supplier maybe located near the English / Scottish border & choose to bid for lot 1 or lot 2. The framework is open for use by Defra, APHA, Scottish Government & Welsh Government. However, in practice we expected APHA will make all, or the majority, of awards under this framework agreement.

Recurrence: It is envisaged that this framework will be re-tendered in 2028

CPV: Agricultural services · Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products · Environmental safety services · Supporting services for the government · Veterinary services · Zoological services

How this framework works

From the published notice

Bids received: 10 bids received · 8 suppliers appointed

Lots and requirements (4)Procurement structure

4 lots · 3 with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 3 lots carries the same published figure, £8,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“Framework Agreement for The Provision of Management, Collection,…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
