Services /expertise required for the delivery of a national pig carcase classification approval trial in Great Britain (scientific & statistical expertise; CT scanning equipment & technicians; carcase dissection technicians
Notice Description
AHDB is seeking services/expertise for the delivery of a national pig carcase classification approval trial in Great Britain, including scientific and statistical expertise, CT scanning service (equipment and technicians to operate it) and carcase dissection technicians. The current system of assessing the value of a pig carcase is inadequate for the effective transmission of market signals from consumer to producer and through exploration it has been concluded that there are two new classification devices that should be tested to evaluation their potential to provide a more complete assessment of yield from the carcase. AHDB is therefore planning an evaluation trial for these classification devices in 2020 and are seeking the provision of interrelated expert services to support the delivery of the trial: 1. Scientific and statistical expertise. This expertise may be required for 20 to 40 days from September 2020 to March 2021 with potential further adhoc services until August 2021. 2. Provision of a mobile Computer Tomography scanning service (CT equipment and technician/s) for the determination of reference lean meat content in pig carcases. The duration will be 20 to 40 consecutive days between November to February 2021. 3. Dissection technicians to undertake the physical anatomical dissection of 27 pig carcases for "validation" of the CT reference method. The duration will be 20 to 40 consecutive days between November to February 2021. Bids are sought from individual suppliers or collaborations/consortia that can offer the FULL PACKAGE of the three listed components. 2. If this is not possible, AHDB will accept proposals for provision of one or two part/s of the package.
