The brief

This Pilot is required to deliver a large scale, farmer-delivered badger vaccination service over a five (5) year period.

The appointed Contractor will act as a managed service provider and establish sub-contracting arrangements with farmers to deliver vaccination services on a 250 km sq contiguous area of East Sussex.

This Pilot aims to deliver a form of badger control in East Sussex, an area that is unlikely to take part in a future cull and provide information to support vaccination as a badger control tool.

Key objectives are as follows: - Service provision via a bespoke vaccination delivery model that ensures farmers are at the forefront of vaccination services. - To learn from and refine the delivery model to ensure farmer-delivered vaccination Services (vaccination and cage-trapping for the prevention of TB) are a success. - Work alongside key stakeholders over the five (5) year period to demonstrate that badger vaccination can be delivered at scale. - Driving efficiencies over the five (5) year period to make farmer-led badger vaccination more cost effective.

The purpose of this notice is to alert the market to a possible opportunity and invite interested parties to join a supplier engagement event at 2:00 pm on Wednesday 23rd September 2020.
