Quantitative Modelling Standing Capacity (QMSC) Framework

Defra and AHVLA requires a quantitative modelling standing capacity (QMSC) that maintains, develops and can make models available at short notice in the event of an outbreak or to meet ad hoc policy requests to cover epidemiological and economic modelling and analysis for FMD and other exotic diseases, to inform policy decisions, which may need to be made quickly and sometimes based on evidence that is not complete.

Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra. If you’re already registered on the Bravo portal please check that your registration includes Defra, as you have to specify us in order to correctly receive the tender documents. If you have any problems with the registration process, please contact the Bravo helpline on 0800 368 4850 or alternatively email them at help@bravosolution.co.uk.
