Notice Title

For the supply of Stable Isotope reference analysis service for Pork and Pork products

Notice Description

AHDB, through its Pork division, is the owner of a SIRA (Stable Isotope Reference Analysis) database of pork reference samples taken from known farms throughout the UK and a number of other EU countries. The data is used to audit provenance claims for pork, bacon and ham sold at retail in the United Kingdom, specifically to authenticate claims that these products originate in the United Kingdom. The system has been developed to augment the existing industry audit and traceability systems employed as part of product assurance schemes, specifically BMPA and Red Tractor. The current contract for the provision of sample and statistical analysis ends on 31 May 2018 and so re-tender is necessary to revisit the market to benchmark pricing and explore service developments.
