UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Food Standards Agency, a central government public authority located in York, has successfully completed with the signing of a tri-party agreement titled "Improving Local Authority Delivery of Animal Feed and Food Hygiene at the Level of Primary Production Official Controls in 2026-27". This process falls under the industry category of services, specifically "Research and Development Services and Related Consultancy" and "Animal Feedstuffs". The procurement method was direct and below threshold, involving no competition. The contract was awarded to the Chartered Trading Standards Institute on 10th July 2026, with the effective performance period spanning from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The procurement stage has now moved beyond award to the active contract phase, with a contract value of £161,686.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses with expertise in food hygiene, animal feed research, and consultancy services. Companies experienced in managing local authority project initiatives may find this contract highly relevant, as it involves improving delivery mechanisms for food hygiene controls. While this particular tender has been awarded, similar projects are likely to arise, offering further opportunities for consultancy firms, research organisations, and service providers within the public sector domain. Given the direct procurement method without the need for tender competition, businesses looking to establish or enhance their partnerships with central government agencies could be especially well-suited to engage in such projects in the future.
