The installation would be in a pre-existing AMS shed of novel design, but there would be some scope for adjustments to the shed to accommodate a new design of system. A key component of the system is precision grazing cows so the shed design must reflect this and include automated sorting gates. A building map is included in this tender but more detailed building drawings can be supplied if required. The number of VMS/AMS units to be provided can be specified by the provider as long as they fit within the system and optimise the numbers of cows that can be kept in the herd. The units provided must be the most up to date models from the company and provide the optimum system for both commercial and research work. Please also refer to Appendix A for any additional guidance re layout etc to assist in bid response. The units provided must include herd management software and allow access for data collection for research purposes. Integration of novel sensor technologies is a core component of the work conducted at the SWDDC and data access and a collaborative approach is essential for this research and the suppliers policy on this must be addressed in the tender. ## CPV classification Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-030fa9-2022-01-26T14:49:39Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-030fa9-2022-01-26T14:49:39Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
