## Summary

Derbyshire County Council is undertaking a procurement process to appoint a Public Analyst as part of their Trading Standards Division, which oversees food safety and quality in the County of Derbyshire, except for Derby City. The tender, titled "CCP19021 - Public Analysts," has a duration of two years starting from 1st April 2020, with potential extensions based on performance. The contract is valued at £40,000, with a minimum threshold of £20,000. The open tender process concluded on 6th February 2020, while the contract running from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2024 also indicates an active need for laboratory services supporting the enforcement of key food safety regulations.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for businesses specialising in laboratory services, particularly those qualified as Public Analysts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider bidding, as there is a strong focus on inclusivity for these groups. The need for regular analysis of approximately 150 samples annually creates scope for consistent engagement and potential contract value expansion, making it an attractive proposition for firms looking to establish or further develop their presence in the public sector procurement landscape.

## Notice

The Trading Standards Division of the Council enforces provisions of the Food Safety Act 1990 and the Agriculture Act 1970 within the boundaries of the County of Derbyshire excluding Derby City. The Council is responsible for ensuring that food for human consumption, animal feed and fertilisers meet legislative requirements in terms of quality, composition, labelling and safety. Fundamental to this is the analysis of samples taken by the Council's officers and subsequent opinion of suitably qualified experts such as Public Analysts. The Council anticipates that on average 150 samples shall be submitted for analysis per annum pursuant to a mutually agreed quarterly sampling plan. The Council is seeking to appoint a Public Analyst for a period of two years commencing 1st April 2020 with the option to extend for a further two periods of 1 year each subject to performance and agreement. The Council cannot offer any commitment on future purchasing patterns or volumes.
