## Summary

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has successfully awarded a contract for the supply and delivery of Brucellosis blood sampling kits to DGP Intelsius Ltd. This contract pertains to Northern Ireland under the regulatory framework of the Northern Irish devolved regulations. The procurement process commenced as an open procedure and is now at the award and contract stages, with the contract being signed on 9 March 2026. This significant procurement, classified under "Medical consumables" and other related categories, spans from 10 March 2026 to 9 March 2031, emphasising the continuous statutory need for the blood sampling of cattle. The procurement took place in Ballykelly, UK, as the location for DAERA's office, with the Supplies & Services Division acting as the procuring entity.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities particularly for companies specialising in medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and haematological consumables. The awarded contract, valued at a gross amount of £228,600, encourages competitive pricing and quality solutions, reflective of a demand-led contract with potential contingency for business growth due to unforeseen outbreaks. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) such as DGP Intelsius Ltd., with expertise in safely delivering specialised medical equipment, are well-suited to compete in such tenders, providing innovative solutions to meet statutory requirements. Businesses with capabilities in offering reliable support in medical testing and delivery systems stand to benefit significantly from participation in similar procurement opportunities within the UK’s central government sector.

## Notice

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. Brucellosis is a significant zoonotic disease in Northern Ireland and has been successfully eradicated from the national cattle herd with Official Brucellosis Freedom status attained from the EU in 2015. 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.
