Database forces

NMR and the HFS are to join forces with service provider Capita in readiness to bid to run the national cattle database.

Capita is involved in administration of the theory driving test, managing pensions for 1.8m people, and was involved in setting up the nursery voucher scheme.

"We are now in a good position to put in a bid when the tender is announced," says NMRs Julian Bryan.n
