In sheep, the project is focussing on lameness, parasite control and general flock management issues such as nutrition and breeding.

Section IV: Procedure
Justification for the choice of accelerated procedure: In addition to the derogation issued by the European Commission and the Office Government Commerce Procurement (Policy Note PPN 01/09 and PPN 01/11), the Colleges justification for using the Accelerated Restricted Procedure is that despite improvements in key indicators such as GDP and wage levels, the Cornish economy remains weak and uncompetitive. As a result Cornwall qualified for Convergence funding, the highest level of the European economic regeneration programme for 2007-2013. The fast competitive procurement of the training and consultancy services for improving sheep flock and beef herd health would assist in the development of a modern, competitive, sustainable, high value Cornish economy. Cornwall, as a remote, sparsely populated rural region with aspirations to develop a high knowledge economy, has much to gain from the rapid execution of the contract, thereby benefiting the local and national economy. The College believe the market is capable of meeting the reduced timescales involved with this procedure and undertaking the services in a relatively brief period.
Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates: As detailed in the Pre Qualification Questionnaire.
Place:
Using Cornwall Colleges electronic tendering system In-Tend.
