What the notice says
The Agency is seeking to establish a working solution that supports the development of an Animal Management Database—a strategic investment for the MHRA. This system will enable real-time electronic record-keeping and reporting to strengthen compliance with ASPA, streamline operational workflows, and uphold high standards of animal welfare through integrated digital infrastructure and competency tracking.
MHRA seeks a partner to deliver a comprehensive solution that meets both immediate and long-term needs for animal facility management. The new system must support secure data capture, real-time tracking, and reporting across multiple sites, while ensuring compliance with Home Office licensing and audit standards. It should accommodate both high-frequency operational data, such as daily health checks and procedure logs, as well as long-term archival records, including historical logs, training certifications, and compliance documentation. Handling of sensitive data must be robust, with appropriate access controls and retention policies in place.
