We are keen to understand the timelines for applications to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) for a marketing authorisation or for emergency use consideration under Schedule 4 of the Veterinary Medicine Regulations 2013, as well as for production timescales for any product to be made available to the UK market.

The Authority is specifically interested in:
- the types of inactivated or novel (e.g. RNA) BTV-3 vaccine being developed.
- the efficacy and period (onset and duration) of immunity they might offer.
- which species they are being developed for
- available safety data in the target species
- the proposed number of doses in the vaccination schedule,
- storage conditions
- readiness to submit the necessary information to the Veterinary Medicines Directorate
- the extent to which the UK livestock sector could be supplied with such product in 2024 or 2025
- any information that might be provided about potential costs; any expectations around the vaccines being manufactured under the conditions of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

The Authority will not be considering live bluetongue vaccines.

The Authority is seeking this information to inform decisions around guarantees of supply to the UK market. An estimated total value is therefore not provided at this stage. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** The Authority is exploring the status of BTV-3 vaccine products that have the potential to be available for use in 2024 or 2025 (either as an authorised product or emergency use under Schedule 4) to help to inform our control strategy for bluetongue ... ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F015009-2024) - **Last Source Update:** 2024-05-10T13:11:27.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-22T18:20:48.816Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-0458c0
