RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet accept the single tender from Senlac Associates for the provision of Veterinary Services at the Imported Food Office on behalf of the Council for a two-year period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026 at the estimated value of £1,095,014.
Reasons for decision
Cabinet agreed a single tender contract for Senlac for veterinary services at the Imported Food Office noting that legislation required qualified veterinarians to be present to undertake certain checks at UK Border Control Posts. The Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services updated Cabinet on planned changes to the checks at the border at Heathrow.
Alternative options considered and rejected
None, as the Council has a statutory obligation as a local authority with a Border Control Post at Heathrow Airport.
