Notice Information

Notice Title

Food Standards Agency FS115005 Services for delivery of pRMP & boundry assessment for Shellfish.

Notice Description

The Food Standards Agency is a non-ministerial government department governed by a Board appointed to act in the public interest, with the task of protecting consumers in relation to food. It is a UK-wide body with offices in London, Cardiff, Belfast and York. Prior to a full sanitary survey being undertaken, a provisional Representative Monitoring Point (pRMP) is designated to enable sampling to be initiated at the area for classification purposes. The pRMP is set to provide the most suitable representation of the microbiological quality of the area where the shellfish is grown, based on a desk top review, assessment of publically available information on the geographical characteristics of the area and potential sources of pollution, as well as any existing sanitary surveys and/or E. coli data relating to the area (if available) or any neighbouring classified harvesting areas (where relevant). The purpose of the pRMP assessment is to determine the location of a pRMP to inform the sampling plan; it also confirms the provisional boundary of the area to be classified. The procurement will be managed electronically by the Food Standards Agency e-tendering portal. To participate in this procurement, participants must first be registered on the e-tendering portal, Bravo: https://food.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html Full instructions for registration and use of the system can be found on the front screen.
