Description

Signet Breeding Services is the part of AHDB responsible for delivering the UK’s national genetic evaluations to sheep producers. Signet delivers three mixed breed genetic evaluations to the sheep industry, one for terminal sire breeds, one for lowland maternal breeds and one for hill breeds. Our terminal sire and hill evaluations utilise genomic information that has been provided to AHDB from a variety of different sources using a range of chip types. Genomic approaches are rapidly being developed for our lowland maternal evaluation. AHDB is seeking tender applications to secure the services of companies that can provide the genotypes required to complete this work. Two work packages are specified within this tender document. Bidders can bid for either work package or both of them. Work Package 1. Medium density sheep genotyping for hill sheep and maternal breeds. Work Package 2. Medium density sheep genotyping for terminal sire breeds. Closing date for submissions by 12 noon on the 3 November 2025 https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome
