Field trials for cattle injectable vaccine and the DIVA

1.1 The Authority wishes to appoint a supplier to act as a Contract Research Organisation (CRO) to run GB field trials of CattleBCG Vaccine and companion DIVA (DST-F) testing. The CRO will be required to recruit herds, run field trials and report outcomes of the final protocol agreed with APHA. The field trials must comply with GCP(vet) therefore CRO will be expected to have their own internal QA/auditing systems in place and will also be subject to regular audit by APHA quality services and an external auditor.
