The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) requires the collection of dead wild birds that are deemed to be of surveillance value, and delivery of the carcases to designated APHA Veterinary Investigation Centre (VIC) or Scotland Rural College Disease Surveillance Centre (SRUCDSC) sites for testing. APHA also requires the provision of unique wild bird carcase identification numbers which will be held on a Central Spreadsheet. Collection (and delivery) of specified small mammalian carcases will also be required, particularly if mortalities are linked epidemiologically to an AI outbreak in wild birds. The Contractor will be required to have a network of personnel to act as Collectors across mainland Great Britain (GB) to ensure maximum efficiency in the Contractor's timely ability to collect carcases upon request from the Authority. As a minimum this shall mean that the Contractor can collect and deliver any carcase across mainland GB within forty-eight (48) hours of the Authority's request (i.e., for a Collector to travel from their point of origin to the location of the carcase(s) and then either to an APHAVIC or SRUCDSC, and/or a return journey). While this Contract primarily covers collections from mainland GB, Services from GB islands (excluding Crown Dependencies) may be requested. If this situation occurs the Contractor would be expected to provide a quotation and estimated timescale or the collection. The APHA Veterinary Lead in Avian Virology would then advise if the collection should go ahead. Note that the value shown on this notice is very approximate and covers the full potential 5-year contract period (01/09/2024 to 31/08/2027 with up to 24 months extension allowable).

1. Overview of Requirement 1.1 Background Invasive non-native species (INNS) are one of the top threats to global biodiversity, cost the British economy around £2 billion a year, and can harm human health and interfere with our way of life. While terrestrial invasive non-native species are a serious issue, aquatic non-native species are particularly invasive and, once established, can be impossible to eradicate and extremely costly to manage. A 2016 report estimated the cost of INNS to the UK water industry as at least £7.5 million per annum, a figure expected to rise as increasing numbers of invasive species arrive in the country. This report provided a series of recommended measures for water companies to reduce the impacts of INNS, covering prevention, management, control and eradication. Following this report, the water industry has implemented measures to limit future costs, maintain services, and help protect the environment from INNS. Between 2017 and 2025, over £1 million has been invested by a group of water companies to tackle aquatic INNS in England (£450k invested by eight water companies between 2017 and 2020, and £600k by nine water companies between 2020 and 2025). Delivery of this work programme is led by the GB Non-native Species Secretariat (NNSS), overseen by the Aquatic Biosecurity Partnership, a steering group of contributing water companies and key Check, Clean, Dry partners who are supporting the project through their time and the activities of their organisation. To enable comparisons over time, and support future work in the next phase of the Aquatic Biosecurity Partnership, the partnership now requires: 1. Information on the current costs of INNS to the UK water industry. 2. Recommendations for measures to reduce the impact of INNS in the freshwater environment. 2. Scope of Requirements 2.1 The key objectives of the research are to: 1. Quantify the cost of INNS to UK water companies. 2. Identify and prioritise emerging INNS threats to UK water companies. 3. Assess progress made by water companies in England and Wales with recommendations made in the 2016 report. 4. Assess progress with collaborative working between water companies in this area. 5. Recommend the most effective measures for control of priority species.

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) are seeking to engage a supplier to produce and supply specified Poultry Rate Cards on a regular basis to reflect the market value of breeding, laying and meat production birds at various stages in their lifecycle, including consideration of age in days/weeks. The Poultry Rate Cards may be used where the Authority is required to or chooses to pay compensation for poultry or other captive birds. The successful Tenderer will be appointed to supply the specified Poultry Rate Cards (PRCs) for an initial 4-year period, with the option to extend the Contract for a further period of up to a maximum of 24 months. This will be subject to separate budget approval and at the discretion of the Contracting Body. There are three elements to the requirement: The successful Supplier shall deliver: • Requirement 1: Provide regular review and updates as required, of a variety of PRCs at specified intervals (typically 5 times a year); and • Requirement 2: Conduct bespoke valuations for different bird types/production systems, as required by the Buyer. If a bespoke PRC is commissioned, the Buyer may request these PRCs are then added to the regular updates and a Contract Change Notice (CCN) would be agreed between the Buyer and the Supplier as appropriate; and • Requirement 3: Provide expert advice, as required. The potential supplier will need to have and maintain knowledge of the United Kingdom poultry and game rearing industry, including conditions in Northern Ireland.

This notice calls for bids to be submitted for the provision of agricultural valuation services. This is a reprocurement ahead of the expiry of Defra's current valuation services framework agreement. The valuation services framework will seek the appointment of a range of professionals who can value: livestock, crops and assets. The framework is comprised of three lots, as we are seeking three types of valuers: routine valuers, expert valuers and monitor valuers. The purpose of these valuations is to support APHA to control the spread of endemic and exotic diseases such as bovine TB and bird flu. The valuations under this framework will enable APHA, Welsh Government and Scottish Government to pay compensation to the owners of stock, crops or assets when we humanely cull animals, destroy crops and/or destroy assets to control the spread of diseases. The resulting open framework is to be open for use by: Defra, APHA, Welsh Government & Scottish Government.

Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) require a specialist courier supplier to manage the secure, time-critical collection and international delivery of approximately 2,000 consignments per year.

Due to the specialist nature of the consignments, the suppliers must hold appropriate licenses for the transportation of infectious substances, manage chilled and dry ice shipments, provide import services, and navigate complex customs clearance procedures.
