Vulnerable consumers are those whose immune system is weakened in some way. This includes but is not limited to: cancer patients, patients undergoing immunosuppressive or cytotoxic treatment, unborn and newly delivered infants, pregnant women, people with diabetes, alcoholics (including those with alcoholic liver disease) and a variety of other conditions. Immune system capacity decreases progressively in the elderly, so elderly individuals are also included in this group. Listeriosis is a disease caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08b5840e-9a94-4481-882b-327a2681acac | | 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 | 15 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | 10 Jul 2022 - 30 Sep 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £59,039 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £59,039 | | 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 | IFF RESEARCH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services - 73120000 - Experimental development services - 73220000 - Development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 15 Jul 2022 at 09:14 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08b5840e-9a94-4481-882b-327a2681acac - 14 Jul 2022 at 12:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08b5840e-9a94-4481-882b-327a2681acac - 13 May 2022 at 10:09 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d63ed561-f1b7-478e-b789-2d19b97add70 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/08b5840e-9a94-4481-882b-327a2681acac 15th July 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d63ed561-f1b7-478e-b789-2d19b97add70 13th May 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/940390f4-34a5-47f6-a9b4-7191d3bb0e05 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
