Official UK procurement notice
Provision of Portal Official Veterinarian (OV) Service
Authority: NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionNorth East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) requires a provider to deliver a portal official veterinarian (OV) service.
Following the UK's departure from the EU, there is a requirement for import checks on certain goods of both non-EU and EU origin.
Associated British Ports (ABP) are providing a new Border Control Post (BCP) that will be approved to handle a range of products and the Authority is responsible for providing the required operational resource. The Authority has seen a substantial increase in exports and associated control with the exit from the EU.
Most products of animal origin require the presence of an Official Veterinary Surgeon (OVS). This is a statutory requirement in accordance with current EU and UK legislation (UK TARP Regulations 2011, as amended or replaced, Official Control Regulations 2017/625) and requirements of the central competent authorities (DEFRA and FSA).
The Provider shall deliver official controls at the Border Control Post and maintain the full range of imports that can arrive into Grimsby and Immingham.

Publisher note: It has come to our attention that our specified requirements need to be amended to take account of recent changes in implementing the UK's Border Operating Model communicated by Central Government on 14th September 2021. Unfortunately, we are unable to make these changes at this stage of the procurement process, so we are abandoning, and plan to re-publish once we have had time to consider the changes and update our requirements.
