## Summary

The procurement process led by the Defra Network eTendering Portal pertains to the contract titled "Development, validation and implementation of a method for the determination of Glyphosate and metabolites." This service, falling under the agro-chemical products industry category, aims to enhance the analytical capabilities for monitoring pesticide residues in food. The procurement method was limited, specifically an award of contract without prior publication of a contract notice. The tender period concluded on 22nd November 2017, while the contract commenced on 22nd January 2018 and is set to end on 31st March 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in analytical services and pesticide pollution assessment. Companies with expertise in developing innovative testing methodologies for agro-chemical products, especially those focused on compliance with environmental and health regulations, would be particularly well-suited to compete. This project will enable successful bidders to contribute to the UK's standalone pesticide regulatory regime and could enhance their reputation within a critical sector, potentially leading to further contracts in related fields.

## Notice

The project aims to develop and implement new and cutting edge analytical methods for identification of Glyphosate and its metabolites, in support of the UK's Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF) monitoring programme. Maintaining and enhancing our capability in analytical methods for monitoring - particularly concerning such high profile products as Glyphosate - is of vital importance, especially as we move towards a standalone UK pesticide regulatory regime. This will enable us to demonstrate that the new regulatory regime is achieving its aims of protecting human health and the environment.
