## Summary

The Food Standards Agency is inviting tenders for a survey titled "FS430814 Survey of Campylobacter in broilers from small throughput processing plants." This procurement falls under the research and development services sector and is specifically aimed at small poultry slaughterhouses in the UK with a throughput of under 250,000 birds per year. The tender is currently active and has a submission deadline of 10th May 2021. If awarded, the contract will commence on 28th June 2021 and run until 31st March 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in food safety and microbiological research. Businesses engaged in consultancy services, laboratory work, and those with expertise in conducting microbiological surveys will find this tender particularly relevant. The focus on non-routine processing methods also opens avenues for innovative solutions from companies that can adapt to unique sampling requirements in the food industry.

## Notice

Tenders are invited for carrying out a survey to find the levels of Campylobacter in broilers from small poultry slaughterhouses in the UK which are not currently carrying out sampling. Sampling will be carried out from slaughterhouses with a throughput of under 250,000 birds per year and would include sampling of the neck skin to match with current requirements, and additional ceca samples to gain information about the levels of Campylobacter in broilers from the farms. There are some small plants that use non-routine methods of processing, for example skinning the carcass in-feather or salting of the carcasses. Additional consideration of how sampling can take place for these establishments is required.
