Multi-stage Criteria:

The APVMA is undertaking a two-stage procurement process to secure Scientific Data Evaluation and Regulatory Risk Assessment Services. The First-Stage, an Expression of Interest (EOI), will identify suitably qualified and experienced Respondents capable of providing services in accordance with the requirements of the EOI. The Second-Stage, a Request for Tender (RFT), may be issued after consideration of Proposals that were submitted in the First-Stage. The Second-Stage options available to the APVMA are: a. develop a shortlist of suppliers from Respondents to the EOI and issue an RFT to those Respondents only; or b. issue an RFT to entities that did not submit proposals in response to this EOI; or c. decide not to proceed with an RFT; or d. exercise any of its other rights, in its discretion under Part A Paragraph 8 of the EOI.

Description:

The APVMA has functions, powers and obligations under the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code scheduled to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1995 relating to the regulation of agricultural and veterinary chemicals up to and including the point of sale. The APVMA’s decision making is designed to be systematic, scientific and risk-based. The object of the Agvet Code is to make provision for and in relation to:

the evaluation, approval and control of the supply, of active constituents for proposed or existing agricultural chemical products or veterinary chemical products;
the evaluation, registration and control of the manufacture and supply, of agricultural chemical products and veterinary chemical products;
the reconsideration of an active approval, chemical product/s or labels

The APVMA is seeking expressions of interest from suitability qualified and experienced organisations who will evaluate and/or regulatory risk assess data for the registration, reconsideration or project work relating to pesticides and veterinary medicines. The APVMA is looking for expertise from individuals or organisations in the disciplines of:

Chemistry;
Efficacy;
Environment;
Health and WHS; and
Residues and Trade.

Respondents may express an interest for Scientific Data Evaluation and Regulatory Risk Assessment Services in one or more of these disciplines.

It is envisaged that the Scientific Data Evaluation and Regulatory Risk Assessment Services solution will be sought via a two-staged procurement process. The first stage comprises this EOI and the subsequent evaluation of Proposals. Based on that evaluation, the APVMA may shortlist one or more Respondents to participate in a subsequent Request for Tender (RFT) process before determining whether to enter into binding arrangements.
