This tender falls within the research and development services category and is set in England. The tender period ended on 16th May 2022, with the contract period commencing on 12th July 2022 and concluding on 28th February 2023. The total contract value is £36,941.12, awarded on 15th July 2022, as part of an open procurement process. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and agricultural safety. Businesses that focus on environmental safety and health risks associated with biocide use in food production, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), are well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Engagement in this area not only supports public health initiatives but can also enhance competitive standing in a crucial segment of the agricultural and environmental consulting markets. ## Notice Critical review of AMR risks arising as a consequence of using biocides and certain heavy metals in food animal production. We would like to commission a critical review of the scientific literature to enhance our knowledge of the AMR hazards and risks arising as a consequence of biocide and heavy metal use in food animal production. Particularly, it is important to understand the extent to which biocides and heavy metals give rise to the selection and spread of AMR bacteria into the food chain. This information will help to improve our understanding of how current animal husbandry practices impact on AMR, whether further research such as surveillance of biocide and heavy metal usage and associated resistance traits should be considered and whether steps are needed to reduce the impact of these compounds on AMR. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/973aa97e-3cbd-40c4-9155-572e3c55d74b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 16 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | 11 Jul 2022 - 28 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £36,941 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE FOOD STANDARDS AGENCY | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO1 7PR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Guildhall | | Westminster constituency | York Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GRIMSBY INSTITUTE OF FURTHER & HIGHER EDUCATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 27 Jul 2022 at 15:12 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/973aa97e-3cbd-40c4-9155-572e3c55d74b - 27 Jul 2022 at 14:36 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/973aa97e-3cbd-40c4-9155-572e3c55d74b - 25 Mar 2022 at 09:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1440736-1d71-424e-a075-14718e5ef8dd ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/973aa97e-3cbd-40c4-9155-572e3c55d74b 27th July 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1440736-1d71-424e-a075-14718e5ef8dd 25th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cf7e1b67-2b90-4724-93f5-d3f4354416c0 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
