County Parish Holding (CPH) Review

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

The Client invites bidders to tender for a 6 month contract to assess the current requirements livestock keepers are following and how they have an impact on traceability of livestock in Wales.

There is a need for a unique identifier for livestock traceability, this unique identifier must give maximum traceability of livestock whist also ensuring the functionality is suited to the end user. This review needs to assess the current set of requirements and produce recommendations on how best to achieve a unique location identifier for Wales.

The review will investigate the data sharing requirements across multiple agencies, databases and websites that use CPH information and how it is used.

The review will also consider the role other agencies and organisations play in how they process CPH information and whether the processes used, and the related timescales have an impact on traceability.

Overall, this review should cover every aspect of CPH use in Wales. This includes the online database used to issue CPH’s, the issuing process, keeper use and engagement, internal and external use of CPH’s and the process of closing inactive CPH’s.

Bidders are invited to submit Bids to be awarded the Contract for County Parish Holding (CPH) Review. The Contract is for the delivery of the Services as described in the Specification.

A budget range of GBP 60,000 - 80,000 excluding VAT is available for the purposes of this contract over the ‘6’ month contract period.
