The Provision of Kennels to Accommodate Quarantine of Animals

Tender description

In cases where animals arrive into Ireland and are found to be non-compliant, the Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine (DAFM) may wish to isolate these animals for a period of time, and DAFM is now seeking tender submissions from suitable persons who have the capacity to provide a quarantine facility for these animals. In the vast majority of cases the animals will be cats and dogs. The quarantine facility must be separate to any other animals including boarding kennels and must only accommodate animals sent by DAFM for the period required. Important Note: Tenderers must be aware that DAFM seeks exclusive use of all kennel spaces in the quarantine facility unit for all animal types when their services are engaged by DAFM i.e., when DAFM transfers an animal to your facility. The successful tenderer must be able to provide: 1. a suitable quarantine facility for non-compliant animals that enter Ireland from abroad, and 2. transport for non-compliant animals to and from the quarantine facility 3. a registered veterinary practitioner to administer vaccines, tapeworm treatment, microchips etc.
