The procurement contact named on the official notice.
The submission route named on the official notice.
AGRI-EPI CENTRE LIMITED publishes Agriculture & Farming Products work continuously — 15 notices, roughly one every 3 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
11% of AGRI-EPI CENTRE LIMITED’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The awarded supplier will provide a voluntary / automatic milking system (VMS/AMS) for a newly established herd of ~180 cows.
The installation would be in a pre-existing AMS shed of novel design, but there would be some scope for adjustments to the shed to accommodate a new design of system.
A key component of the system is precision grazing cows so the shed design must reflect this and include automated sorting gates.
A building map is included in this tender but more detailed building drawings can be supplied if required.
The number of VMS/AMS units to be provided can be specified by the provider as long as they fit within the system and optimise the numbers of cows that can be kept in the herd.
The units provided must be the most up to date models from the company and provide the optimum system for both commercial and research work.
Please also refer to Appendix A for any additional guidance re layout etc to assist in bid response.
The units provided must include herd management software and allow access for data collection for research purposes.
Integration of novel sensor technologies is a core component of the work conducted at the SWDDC and data access and a collaborative approach is essential for this research and the suppliers policy on this must be addressed in the tender.
