Notice Description

****The full tender opportunity is advertised on www.capitalesourcing.com****The London Borough of Hillingdon is responsible for overseeing imported food and feed controls at its Imported Food Office located at London Heathrow Airport.

These samples are not time critical, and an expedited turnaround time is not required. Additional information: The full tender opportunity is advertised on www.capitalesourcing.com
