## Summary

The Food Standards Agency is currently seeking tenders for the project titled "FS430667 - Survey of Salmonella, E. coli and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in frozen, part-cooked breaded or battered poultry products at retail sale in the UK." This procurement falls under the category of research and development, specifically focused on the consultancy services related to food safety and public health. The tender is in the active stage, with the submission deadline set for 11 December 2020. The contract is scheduled to commence on 26 February 2021 and run until 30 November 2021, covering areas across the United Kingdom and beyond.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the research and consultancy sectors, particularly those specialising in food safety, microbiology, and antimicrobial resistance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their innovative approaches can greatly contribute to the study's objectives. Companies equipped to conduct microbiological testing and analysis will find this procurement particularly relevant as it aligns with current public health priorities in the food industry.

## Notice

Tenders are invited to carry out a survey, with methods in line with the EU harmonised survey of AMR, to examine the rates of Salmonella and E. coli in frozen, part-cooked breaded and battered poultry products on retail sale within the UK. Isolates of E. coli should additionally undergo testing for AMR phenotypes, in line with those tested for in the EU harmonised surveys. It would be advantageous, but not essential, that isolates of Salmonella also undergo whole genome sequencing (WGS) and screening for AMR associated genes.
