Description

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.
