Notice Information
Notice Title
Services to Enable the Identification of Beef Origin
Notice Description
5. FSS wishes to commission provision of services that will enable us to determine the geographical origin of beef sold at processing, retail and catering establishments in Scotland. It is expected that the services will be based on the use of stable isotope analysis and trace element analyses, although alternative approaches will be considered if there is scientific justification that they offer improved discriminatory power. The method/approach applied will have sufficient sensitivity to distinguish beef of Scottish origin from beef which has been produced in other countries within the UK and internationally.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The Contractor will deliver a functional operational tool that can be used for both surveillance purposes and the investigation of suspected fraudulent activity involving the mislabelling or substitution of beef which has been marketed with a Scottish provenance claim. It is essential that the method/approach applied is robust, reliable and capable of supporting enforcement activity and legal action.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 8 and 9 of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.
Renewal: The Authority may, by giving notice to the Contractor, extend the period of the Framework Agreement to a date falling no later than four years from the Commencement Date. Subject to that constraint, the Authority may extend the period of the Framework Agreement on more than one occasion.
