Summary of the contracting process

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) is seeking to put in place a contract for the provision of specialist pesticide residue analysis in food and drink for the Northern Ireland Official Testing Programme. The contract will cover multiple years, starting with testing samples in October to December 2024 and continuing into 2025. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender deadline set for June 10, 2024. The contract falls under the services category with a focus on food or feed contamination protection services. The opportunity is open for businesses to bid on four lots related to food and drink testing in Northern Ireland.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in food testing services to expand their operations. Companies with expertise in pesticide residue analysis in the food and drink industry would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The HSE prefers to work with a minimal number of providers to deliver this testing programme effectively. Businesses should note the tight procurement deadlines and the potential for the contract to extend over multiple years, offering a stable revenue stream for successful bidders.
