London Borough of Hillingdon awarded a contract to Senlac Associates for the provision of an official veterinary service for the Imported Food Office (LHR).

The contract, valued at £1,095,014, was awarded to ensure continued veterinary checks on imported food, particularly products of animal origin, following the expiration of the previous contract on 31 March 2024.

The decision to award without tender was made due to uncertainty in future service requirements stemming from changes in checks required and the anticipated impact of EU Exit, which made it imprudent to tender based on existing consignment volumes.

The two-year contract term allows time for the impact of EU Exit to become clearer, with plans to go out to tender for a new contract starting in April 2026.
