## Summary

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) is conducting a procurement process titled "DAERA - CAFRE/AFBI – Provision of veterinary cover and veterinary supplies" in the veterinary services sector. This procurement, currently at the Active stage, is based in Belfast, UK. The tender includes four lots focused on various facilities like the AFBI Hillsborough and Loughall Centres and the CAFRE Greenmount Antrim. Bids for this contract must be submitted by 31st May 2021, and the overall contract period has a potential duration of seven years with an estimated value of £2.2 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for veterinary service providers and suppliers of veterinary products, particularly those experienced in working within agricultural settings. Businesses specialising in veterinary care, animal health products, and those looking to expand into the public procurement market will find this procurement particularly suitable.
