Procurement of Veterinary, Laboratory and Clinical Equipment

FAO has issued a tender for equipment in three categories: veterinary, laboratory and clinical, with Ethiopia named as the country. Beyond the category and the agency, the material carries almost nothing. It does not identify individual items, quantities, technical specifications, delivery points, budget or contract duration. Nor does it set out which firms may bid, what a submission must contain, or the basis on which the award will be made. A supplier of diagnostic instruments, veterinary devices, laboratory analysers or associated consumables can tell from the title that the requirement sits in its product area, and nothing further. Whether the tender is worth pursuing depends on documents that are not reproduced here. The notice does not say what the equipment is for, where it would be delivered, or how many units are sought.
