Contract C27811: IPM Dry Fog and IPM Mini Dry Fog for APHA

About the buyer

Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) is an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Defra Group Commercial handles tendering on APHA's behalf, publishing opportunities through the Find a Tender service. APHA also works on behalf of the Scottish Government and the Welsh Government. Goods, services and works are acquired by competition, with single-tender contracts limited to exceptional cases. Larger purchases need procurement strategy approval from Defra's sponsor team once APHA passes its delegated authority limit. APHA takes part in cross-government collaborative procurement projects to secure value for money.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of APHA's contract awards have been in laboratory and precision equipment, architectural and engineering services and research and development.
