Buyer: SRUC Current stage: Award OCID: ocds-r6ebe6-0000777559 [View canonical contract page](https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-r6ebe6-0000777559) [Download OCDS JSON](https://d3tenders.com/contract/ocds-r6ebe6-0000777559.json) ## Summary SRUC, a prominent agricultural institution based in Edinburgh, has recently concluded the award stage for a procurement process titled "Award of Contract for the re-provision of the milking parlour and associated infrastructure." This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically involving agricultural machinery and milking machines. The contract was awarded on 25 November 2024 to Mathers Dairy Utensils Ltd, located in Dumfries. The project aims to increase the milking capacity of Holstein cows from the current setup to accommodate 210 cows being milked three times a day, reaching approximately 630 individual milkings per day. This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses involved in agricultural machinery and dairy infrastructure to expand their market presence. Companies specialising in advanced milking technologies, farm equipment, and related services are well-suited to compete for such contracts. By securing such tenders, businesses can not only increase their revenue but also establish long-term relationships with key agricultural institutions such as SRUC. ## Notice We are currently milking approximately 200 Holstein cows through a 2 x 12 herringbone milking parlour with low level doubled-up Fullwood milking equipment operated by one person. Circa 80 cows are currently milked three times per day (at 8 hour intervals) with the remainder milked two times per day (i.e., approximately 480 individual milkings per day). The cows are housed in the same building as the milking parlour using cubicles bedded with mats and recycled newspaper.The installation has an extended pit which would readily accept two additional units per side. With minimal building works it may be possible to increase this to four additional units per side i.e.an increase to a 2 x16 herringbone milking parlour.The principal requirement is to increase milk harvesting to cover 210 Holstein cows being milked 3 times per day i.e. 630 milkings per day.Full details are within the attached invitation to tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV518949 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Nov 2024 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SRUC | | Additional buyers | ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL; CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL; FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; LOTHIAN HEALTH BOARD; NHS TAYSIDE; SCOTTISH ENTERPRISE; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT- SASA | | Locality | ABERDEEN | | Post town | Aberdeen | | Postcode | AB11 9DB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Southside/Newington | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 14 | | Supplier names | AECOM; ARTSCAPE GARDENS; ASA RECRUITMENT (QUICK QUOTES; ASTELL SCIENTIFIC; ENABLE SCOTLAND (LEADING THE WAY; FORTH ENVIRONMENT LINK; HAMILTON WASTE AND RECYCLING; IOPT; LANGSTANE; LEMAITRE VASCULAR; MATHERS DAIRY UTENSILS; RICHARD IRVIN FM; UK CENTRE FOR ECOLOGY & HYDROLOGY; VENESKY BROWN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 16 - Agricultural machinery ### Codes - 16000000 - Agricultural machinery - 16600000 - Specialist agricultural or forestry machinery - 16620000 - Milking machines ## Release History - 25 Nov 2024 at 10:50 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV518949 ## Notice URLs - http://https://forestryandland.gov.scot - http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk - http://www.clacks.gov.uk/business/corporateprocurementprocess/ - http://www.nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk/ - http://www.nhstayside.scot.nhs.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.scottish-enterprise.com/ - http://www.sruc.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
