Provision of Vet Services for the Dog Unit

The procurement process for the provision of veterinary services for Police Scotland's dog units is managed by the Scottish Police Authority. This procurement opportunity is currently in the planning stage and is expected to progress with a future notice date of 25th August 2025. The services are categorized under the CPV code for veterinary services and are required in several regions including Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Larbert, and Edinburgh.

This tender is part of the Scottish Police Authority's efforts to ensure the welfare of their canine units and is governed by the legal basis CELEX 32014L0024, following the rules of the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). This tender represents a prospective growth opportunity for businesses specialising in veterinary services. Companies with expertise in veterinary care, experience working with police units, or those located in Scotland could particularly benefit from this engagement.

As the service provision covers multiple areas, there is potential for local businesses in regions like Inverness and Edinburgh to collaborate or expand their services. Bidders should be capable of offering comprehensive veterinary support and demonstrate the ability to cater to the specific needs of police dog units, presenting an excellent chance for both established veterinary practices and newcomers aiming to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts.
