DAERA – VSAHG - Supply and delivery of Brucellosis blood sampling kits

DAERA is seeking to establish a ranked contract for the supply and delivery of Brucellosis testing kits for blood sampling of cattle in Northern Ireland.

Blood sampling of high risk animals is a statutory requirement in addition to approved surveillance sampling of the national herd to prove continued disease freedom. Please see CFT documents for additional information. This is a demand lead contract with no guaranteed levels of business and the contract value is an estimate including a small percentage of contingency in the event of an outbreak.
